Nano follow-up and The Warrior Writer

As my neat little widget says, I managed to beat National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) last month. It was pretty dang close, too. I slacked off toward the middle of the month and ended up having to do a few intense, high word count days. Thankfully, I didn’t mess myself up too much by slacking. I think the high word count days helped me to get a renewed “ummph” toward the novel though. Woo! I’ve recovered from the push of Nano and now I’m going at a slower steadier pace of at least 1k words per day, which I’ve made my current goal thanks to Bob Mayer’s The Warrior Writer workshop that he’s been presenting to my RWA chapter, Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal. Bob Mayer is an excellent teacher, and I’m learning a lot from the workshop. We’ve covered tons including Fears and Goals. I have definitely put his Who Dares Wins book on my “to buy” list.
