Hello, so this week the second week or so of NanoWrimo and a lot of us are starting to get up there word count wise and plot out our stories, which is nothing less than AWESOME. If you have not reached a certain point yet or, are not on track, do not worry. There is still plenty of time to get in some serious word count. The first week of Nanowrimo I couldn't really get into my story, and kept switching Ideas so I would be typing one story about a hundred words in and then switch to the next. So my only advice for this week is stick with it. I can guarantee you it will be worth it in the end. And after, or in case you have already finished a manuscript (edited and all) you can sign up and submit it here: http://www.swoonreads.com/submit-a-manuscript For a chance to win a 15,000 dollar book deal. http://www.swoonreads.com/ is an official sponsor of nanwrimo. So big thank you to them. :)
