Nano 2010

Day One is done. 1828 words posted, coherent ones, too! Actually plan to devote each day's quota to a memorable event for my Warrior's Album. No idea what I'm referring to? Doesn't really matter. The only people I know who read this know, or have some idea. If you don't and care to, then YOU let ME know. Otherwise, I'll expend my energy this month on Zero Draft new NanoWrimo writing and promoting my novel which was written during past nano cycles and edited during EdMo. National Novel Editing Month. That's in March. First we write in November, then we edit (well hopefully in January and February) but have lots of company in March. Will this be my pattern every year from now until ?? Maybe. I'm one of 150,000 other wrimos this year. I'm also deeply into my Kagyu "Klan" Buddhist practice with local and online Sangha. Some of my nano stories will explain that. So, that's what I'm doing for the next 30 days... See ya on Facebook and Twitter, and as always www.AKSbook.com

The Finish Line

I'm not done, but I'm the closest I've ever been to publishing my novel. I met with my editor Friday and he was pleased with my progress. He really feels we can publish by the Summer Solstice.
(I have a thing about the Precession of the Equinoxes, it's an important part of my story.) I've already logged 35 of the 50 hours I pledged to edit for National Novel Editing Month-- that's 70% of my goal. I've been averaging three hours a day. So, if any of you Nanoers find your way here, please post a quick comment -- even if just to say "HI, I stopped by!" Thanks!

Here's the Log again for the 300+ of us editing this month.

March Madness

My friends will yawn and say, "So, what's new?" or "whaz up with that?" since I've been editing pretty much non-stop since October 28. But, this is National Novel Editing Month and more than any other year it's perfect for me! We pledge to spend at least 50 hours editing, rewriting and as the icon says POLISHING. My deadline, which is TODAY, was to complete a pass of rewriting the story. I'm on track-- only a few thousand words to go to cross that line. I had a 5K day Monday! I will do it somehow... I have to. It's Phil's Phased Out Day, aka the day Philip K Dick died in 1982. That has a LOT to do with my novel. Be sure and come back here to get a copy later this spring!!!

Can't promote something that's not done, but I am manifesting it. Yikes, better log out of here and into Word and get moving across that finish line! More on EdMo later!! But while I'm writing, click on that link. And, if you have a novel that needs some work, join in! C'mon! You can track me here, to make sure I really am logging hours: NanOedMo Hours Log. (ZenWoman, of course ;)
