Between NaNo Blog
I've been toying with the continuing to blog between NaNo's this year. I could ramble on about my life but that's boring! There are thousands of blogs that consist of someone going on and on about what is going on in every aspect of their lives. I could talk about my writing, just as I have been with NaNo, which might help ensure I keep writing. I tend to write 50k in the month of November and then 10k from December - October and this is a trend I want to change. I could start editing Midnight Cruise (NaNo '10) or The Secret (NaNo '11) and post the chapters here as I finish them as a web series. There are a lot of options.. does anyone out there have an opinion on what they would like to see? (is there anyone out there?)

December 1
As expected my writing progress took a big nose dive after I broke 50k :( I did end with 51594 but I did not write anything after November 27 (which barely counts as it is <500!). It was a busy few days that encompassed both mine and my son's birthday so without the "oh my god i have to write or else I'll fail!!" pressure, writing got left on the back burner.
I traditionally have only blogged during NaNoWriMo but I would like to increase my writing time throughout the year. So I am considering continuing to post here as I slug through the re-write and editing phase. I do better when I publican set goals as the pressure to not fail is increased when people are watching. Perhaps if I can get this novel tightened up I can even start the sequel! I'm really sold on these science book ideas I have and would like to get more of them created.
Now, in honor of completing NaNoWriMo 2012, I present an UNEDITED (aka don't kill me for the messed up grammar!) story excerpt from this year's novel: Stratospheric Syndrome!
