Thanks for checking on me. Glad to hea...Hi Denise,<br /><br />Thanks for checking on me. Glad to hear you've finished your first draft. Hope you'll post excerpts. Your post definitely speaks to me. During NaNo month I had bursts of activity on some days. On other days, I got distracted. The month went very quickly! I did get the first draft in. Felt the third person POV would not work. So I'm writing the second draft in first person - which really is like starting all over again. But the good thing is I'm more excited about it. Can't wait to get to the end of the second draft and plug some plot holes too.<br /><br />It's enjoyable but also hard work and I do wonder if I'll ever get to the end. I'm easily distracted. I keep editing as I write which kind of holds me back, I think. <br /><br />I've posted a revised excerpt (a previous RFW Birthday Madness entry). Please check it out when you can. I'll appreciate your opinion. <br /><br />Happy 'hot' Christmas in advance, Denise. *Said with obvious envy*. It's freezing here in the UK!Adura Ojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787703060107491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-70266869689082740402012-12-06T07:34:50.498+10:002012-12-06T07:34:50.498+10:00Yay for your nano win!! :)

A tooth infection and teaching the GIMP art system to my talented daughter who is less interested by the day. I guess it's time to get out my own art supplies.<br /><br />It has taken me awhile to figure out what Mirabella and Vaden to have challenge them but I finally have a few ideas. Thanks for your input. I'll be getting in touch just as soon as I get rid of this tooth ache. <br />NancyN. R.
