I'm always happy to offer my own writing quirks up for examination. (Even if they end up being used as examples of what not to do...) It is a good kind of busy. But I'm not as busy as I should be. The end of January is hurtling toward me like a runaway shopping cart, and I haven't finished drafting any of my three new scenes! Nothing like procrastination. At least I actually have outlines for 2 out of the 3. I will have a few long days ahead of me in order to meet my (personally imposed) submission deadline in February. Good luck to you in finishing your own novel. It's a long journey, but one definitely worth taking. Cheers. No worries Rita! I’m always happy to offer my own writing quirks up for examination.

Sounds like you're very busy...but it's a good kind of busy (I think!) Thanks for the helpful comment concerning outlines.

The story I wrote for NaNo is a prequel to an earlier work that I never finished. And I'm eager to write the next story in this setting, but I'm not letting myself start the next story until this one is edited and submitted. I was a bit intimidated by the whole revision process until I read Holly Lisle's One Pass Revision method here: http://www.hollylisle.com/fm/Workshops/one-pass-revision.html. It gave me the courage to start. Good luck taking your NaNo novel to the next level. And for my readers, be sure to visit Gargantua's excellent blog on all things FanFic here: http://lucentdusk.com/.

I'm afraid I can't say that I have been nearly as motivated. Got a tip to share? I applaud you for getting past the post NaNo slump and making progress on editing your novel.
