For NaNo I started with an idea and a notion of how it ended and just wrote. I ended up with 53000 words and after a couple of months of revision I have a book that is ready to go.<br />I would recomend the process, and I'm very sympathetic now you trying another, though not necessarily in November. It seems like a long time to wait.<br />I remember seeing a programme about Ian Fleming, it said he went to the Carribbean each year and wrote a book. I think he did it in 6 ot 8 weeks, but it was obviously a similar intensity of work.rodgriffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071168728713662123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896700399028233241.post-20294710493585758432012-05-14T17:13:40.460-04:002012-05-14T17:13:40.460-04:00Thanks Ashley!

The sequel comes out in July, and I can't wait!<br /><br />I'm reading the sequel to the Booker Prize of 2009, Wolf Hall. Pretty much in thrall to Thomas Cromwell and Tudor history. <br /><br />Suzanne Brockmann has a new series that I'm getting ready to start, and for a little YA, Aqsa Mahmud recommended Eon and Eona. Have you read those yet?<br /><br />I read Ally Condie's Matched and its follow-up, Crossed. Liked them both and am awaiting the third in the series.<br /><br />Happy reading!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445528780051842091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896700399028233241.post-70216666120127171932012-05-14T14:33:40.327-04:002012-05-14T14:33:40.327-04:00Katie, love the recommendations!

The last book pf the series I think comes out this summer? It's by Lauren Kate. I figured you might like it given all your YA - Fantasy choices!

But I have never had problems engaging in writing like some have, and the blank page inspires rather than frightens me.<br /><br />I have to say how very proud I am of you to be managing so much at one time. When you get done editing this second book please give yourself some downtime that is not filled with cupcakes and instead is filled with perfection to take care of you! <br /><br />I don't follow many other students from my classes, but I have loved following you and seeing everything you are doing. You are inspiring.BHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762170818974751420noreply@blogger.com
