After all, one melt down in a month is enough to ask of my family to deal with (and it had nothing to do with NaNo). You're right though, we're all Nucking Futs for doing this, in a good sort of way. :-) Hugs and congrats and I know when you get done with revisions we'll all want that guy with a passion even if his name stays the same.Gail Chianesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12828219122487207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251420377749078024.post-11856779718319123092015-11-30T07:34:18.861-08:002015-11-30T07:34:18.861-08:00I laughed at the problematic sex scene.

They're not ready to have sex yet. That's why this isn't working." I'm a firm believer in 50% PERCOLATION 50% WRITING. You can't just spew out a ton of words. You need to think about the story and characters, and let everything percolate in your brain. A lot of working on a novel happens when you aren't actually typing the words. If you don't take a breather to do that, you can write yourself into a corner. :^)Penny Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729149456469452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251420377749078024.post-63582766529232029982015-11-30T06:55:06.980-08:002015-11-30T06:55:06.980-08:00Ha!
