Well, at least you’re on Chapter Two. I’m still in Chap. One, the hero has just arrived (I think he’ll keep that name) and I still haven’t ironed out his entire backstory.

Plus, it’s late-ish on Day 2, and I’ve only now logged on. We’re on holiday at a mountain resort, and I’ll have to tip-tap for most of the evening to get caught up. Luckily we have a fireplace in our room. http://www.mohonk.com/

Good luck! I’m not an aspiring writer myself, but I have many friends who are so I just wish them all the best. Hope you have a good, productive month!

@Magdalen I see you already have an impressive word count. My heroine has already changed her profession and I'm only on Chapter Two... @katiebabs Have fun! @Leontine Thank you. A lot of people we follow on Twitter seem to be doing NaNoWriMo, so you probably won't be able to escape it. @Carolyn Thanks! And best of luck to your friend.

Good luck, Sarah. I have a friend who’s NaNoing too; she’s determined to finish a story! I’ll keep tabs on both of you.

I read NaNoWriMo’s welcome & introductory email out loud to my husband, who is also my “external editor.” He smiled at the characterization of my internal editor as a “nitpicky jerk” and conceded he was as well. But you know what: he’s never written a novel, so screw `em. (Figuratively speaking.)

@Magdalen I've added you as a NaNoWriMo buddy. Best of luck! @heidenkind Thank you. A cursory glance through my first 1732 words made me shudder but I'm resisting my internal editor and persevering.

Good luck with Nanowrimo! I also wrote several bad romances in my youth. But I eventually decided reading was more fun than writing. =/
