I think it was nice to try and I needed that little nudge but I feel like the quality of my writing may have suffered while I was spending so much time worrying about word count.<br /><br />The park! Yes! I really need to get away from the Internet when I write. Otherwise, I'll Tyle up 3-4 sentences and then check Facebook, Twitter, post a few picsAziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377787046790580963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752239080098245376.post-73743541624858355742012-12-06T21:57:55.175-06:002012-12-06T21:57:55.175-06:00cheers!cheers!Aziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377787046790580963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752239080098245376.post-56587427909160433012012-12-06T21:57:34.273-06:002012-12-06T21:57:34.273-06:00In the car and while out for walks- brilliant!

But, I do have notebooks for each of my stories-- so that helps to organize my thoughts when I think of something and need to jot it down so I won't forget it! I wish story writing was as easy as putting together a blog post-- it's so hard to write with interruptions when you are in the flow Aziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377787046790580963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752239080098245376.post-67801530471628299132012-12-06T05:38:10.945-06:002012-12-06T05:38:10.945-06:00I have never done NaNo and never will (personal th...I have never done NaNo and never will (personal thingy) but I do tip my hat to you in writing 39k words in 30 days (I'm lucky if I can churn out 750 on a good day).<br /><br />On the writing front, when I was writing my debut, I was able to get some of my writing done late at night and on the weekends. For the weekend, what I used to do was go to my local park and get my writing done that wayG. B.

Some days I look back on August and wish I went slower and put more work into the ms. So be proud of your 39k!<br /><br />As for working with kiddos, mine are older now.

Figure out times to write/be creative when you can, and don't worry about the big picture stuff quite so much. The fact you exceeded your longest efforts with NaNo tells me your driven.

It just stresses you out in the end, and stress doesn't exactly conjure up creativity.<br /><br />And, if you can believe it, I got an app on my phone that let's me dictate things instead of write and it has CHANGED MY LIFE.
