It's exciting and worrying in turns but I find the whole camaraderie surrounding it so lovely - it's great to know we're in this together - just for the fun of it all!<br />Oh, if anyone want to 'buddy' me then look up "chicklitter".<br />Good luck to everyone involved!Debs Ricciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837598374947020855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-60806485626476788262009-11-02T18:21:16.710+00:002009-11-02T18:21:16.710+00:00Hope it's going really well, Helen.

The chance to write a book that does not have to be good by a specified deadline is such a luxury. If you write it and it's rubbish, no-one will ask for the advance back :-) Go for it!Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-21585221976149251772009-11-01T17:44:44.792+00:002009-11-01T17:44:44.792+00:00I think you're reasons are great, Helen.

Honestly, I don't call myself a writer. I'll let other people do that. I'm too busy just writing to give myself names.)Paul Lambhttp://www.paullamb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-58072488859300985302009-11-01T11:52:39.276+00:002009-11-01T11:52:39.276+00:00Good luck with your new challenge!Good luck with your new challenge!Glynis Peters https://www.blogger.com/profile/01175378917872403609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-58800085427815744432009-11-01T11:46:51.469+00:002009-11-01T11:46:51.469+00:00Good for you!

I'm a first timer NaNo-ist and my attitude is that what I write this month won't be the work of a genius or worthy of the next booker prize but that's not the point. The point is by Nov 30th 2009 I will have 50,000 words of something resembling a novel - however bad - and that's a huge achievement!<br /><br />Good luck Helen.<br /><br />Julie xxJulie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546678603569056691noreply@blogger.com
