My mother, my son and I just returned from two fabulous days at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV, where I had made some incredible contacts, met some awesome authors, sold some books, traded some books, and actually felt like a serious author.

So...day 12 of NaNoWriMo and I'm finally at word count 21737,,,but it's not good, not good at all. I've come to a part in my novel where I feel like I'm writing gibberish.  The not proofing is driving me crazy and I just want to go back and re-read an correct everything. We're encouraged to just write, write, write, and I know it's a good practice for the purpose at hand, but I'm at odds and running out of time...and words. I like the sprints, though...

Day 6 and I finally got back to the keyboard after a long weekend of not meeting my quota. I'm behind, but I think I made up for it (kinda) this evening. I'll write more before going to bed.What poured on to the page in an hour astounded me. I had no idea my story was going down the road it ended on. Wow and viola! Sometimes our characters certainly surprise us! Day 4 of my total writing experience. Who every observed that Day 3 is the most challenging doesn't remember the afterbirth of Day 4. Haven't written a word today and my weekend if filling quickly with non-writing but essential activities. Woe is me!
