Not tempted by the NaNoWriMo, but if the Den does a SLoMoWriMo, I’m in!

I’ve never had a problem writing crap, but I do have a problem allowing myself to. That’s one reason I find it useful sometimes. Focussing on a goal other than perfect sentences stops me getting tied up in knots and losing all interest in what I’m doing. There is a view that all the polishing should be left for the editing.

It seems we are already buddies – I didn’t know it persisted over the years.

I still haven’t done the challenge you set me on Fb, so the chance of me writing 50,0000000 words in the space of a month is quite slim 🙂

It’s a toss-up between a children’s picture book and the ‘unofficial’ biography of a Hollywood A-lister.

Without any other information, I’d probably guess at a YA novel.

I’m living on me nerves, so I am, wondering where the next comp entry is coming from… I know there’s one out there. I can feel it, see?
And it scares me. -

You talk about bonds and use the term ‘enmeshed’ so I’m going for The Untangling.

Felt the pressure building up as I read and the dam burst at this line ‘Within twenty four hours enough people from Mousehole had volunteered to form a new crew…’Not a good look when you’re in the restaurant car park waiting for your sister.
Seriously, there are no other group of people who earn this much of my respect.
