Last Week, NaNoWriMo

Sunday November 23, 2008
We're nearly to the 50K finish line, wrimos. One more week. For some of us, this week will mean finding time to write in between Thanksgiving obligations. If you're visiting family, consider getting a hotel room, if you can afford it, so you'll have a writing retreat. If you're hosting, scope out where in the house or apartment you might be able to write. (There'll be wrimos typing away in bathrooms across America this week, I guarantee it.) Regardless of your circumstances, the end is in sight, so make the most of the impending deadline to get work done. As Chris Baty says in No Plot? No Problem! "You can do this. Just make the time to write, however much time it takes. Move forward, relentless, determined, confident."

And if you have stories from your Thanksgiving writing ventures, please share them below or in the forum.
