It's Insecure
Writer's Support Group day,
a monthly event where authors in the blogosphere can share about
insecurities and other stuff going on in their lives. First, how
was your Halloween? The good number of trick-or-treaters who
came by my house as unicorns, Rubik's Cubes, and Ghost Buster
characters tells me that the '80s are making a comeback.
Today's
IWSG question is: Win or not, do you usually finish your NaNo
project? Have any of them gone on to be published? I
"won" NaNoWriMo awhile back and am still working on the
manuscript- it's my YA food novel KISS MY BUTTER. Earlier this year,
I had to put the project aside although I still worked on it inside
my head. As I was preparing to immerse myself back into the writing
and re-read the working draft, I worried the break I'd taken would
make me rusty. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. Reviewing my
manuscript, I can better see the story's strengths and
weaknesses now.
What's
funny was that the night after I picked up my manuscript again, an
author friend I hadn't corresponded with for a really long time
emailed me out of the blue that following morning. She wanted
to know if I was still working on my novel. She even remembered my
book title. I took this as a sign from the universe that I should
continue to push forward on this book project....even though it has been
quite awhile since I started it.
What
do you think of when you think of the '80s? Are you doing NaNoWriMo
this month? Have you ever received a sign from the universe?
