Am now officially signed up for NaNoWriMo with The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre. Now, to get at least most of The Monsters of Minooka finished by the beginning of November.

If I seriously get two books finished by the end of the year, somebody shoot me, partly to keep me from injuring anyone in my excitement, and partly to put me out of my agonizing, dog-tired misery. Well, if I'm going to write, I'd better go do it now. *toddles off to work*

The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre

Have I mentioned what a kick-ass title that is?

Theres always all those other titles! hehe

Seriously am signed up to write The Balance... at least as a working title...*glances around nervously*

Oh, trust me, there'll be a whole series of these things if I work it right. I think I'm developing a severe case of "OMG, I totally know what I want to happen in Book Eighteen!"-itis with these characters. But God knows how I'll ever finish more than two by New Year's Day.

you have skill and you have the talent... And something else occurs to me. This write write write way of writing...it lends to some mistakes but, if you overwrite, then that gives you more room to breathe, and to edit later.

You can do the writing and then go back and rewrite. I think a good idea is write two months and spend downtime for two months with a trusted associate beta-ing and proofreading. That way, when all is said and done you will have a strreamlined idea of what should come next...

I've just got to say that every time you post something about the future of The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre, it just about makes my day. I mean, it's completely dorky, yeah, but that's. The title. I. Came. Up. With. Hee!

Anyway, best of luck with it. Can't wait to find out what the story that goes with the title is.

Want us to start a thread for you and all the people you recruit?

WE CAN AND WILL, WE FORUM PEOPLE ARE JUST THAT INSANE. **pant, pant, pant, wild-eyed look, pant, pant**

Okay, I just want to say, several hours later and a good deal calmer, that I should never, ever be allowed to write comments to people while writing a, "NaNo is back, NaNo is back!" high. I am not sane during this period.

Sorry.

I will leave this comment intact, however, as it serves as further evidence for my "NaNoWriMo = writer equivalent of drugs" theory.
