I signed up on impulse and I was amazed at how much I did. I think using some of the tracking tools gave me a reason to keep going. To be honest it doesn&#39;t matter. Even if only you write a few thousand words; it will change writing. I recently read some of what I&#39;ve written, and I swear I had no recollection of having written any of it! It was quite bizarre. I&#39;m glad you&#39;ve found encouragement in my experience. <br />Looking forward to hearing how you go!<br />Warm regardsLucia Nardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00074123007908521446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064283947872208347.post-20065004332685270262011-10-27T16:41:22.262+11:002011-10-27T16:41:22.262+11:00Hi Lucia, I&#39;m about to embark on NaNoWriMo - signed up last year - wrote nothing. This year I am going to write. I AM! Reading your post is an encouragement and I hope to see you somewhere in NaNoWriMo -land. <br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />MerleneMerlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08318707687125028987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064283947872208347.post-2013188826417680932011-10-24T11:11:20.718+11:002011-10-24T11:11:20.718+11:00Agree! and NaNoWriMo is an ideal place to be wordy.

Like your website, by the way. It’s great to connect with other writers and editors around the world!Lucia Nardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00074123007908521446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064283947872208347.post-35944870094454659022011-07-26T12:59:27.044+10:002011-07-26T12:59:27.044+10:00I need the seven-year rule to make sure I *keep* important things long enough. I love to donate and toss anything I don&#39;t need. I hate excess--which helps me as I edit. Haha. However, in writing I can bear some extra, never in my home. ;)Lauren @ Pure Texthttp://www.pure-text.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064283947872208347.post-42426999640493405222011-07-22T17:46:18.886+10:002011-07-22T17:46:18.886+10:00Ever so true. My view of the blue sky has come from having waded my way through the struggles that life has thrown at me. I have not actively sought these struggles and have only appreciated the lessons gained from them once I am at the other side. What my experiences have shown me is that there is always a blue sky if I choose to change my lenses. Thank you for your inspiration.
