: 12-03-08 @ 6:12am : You will hit a wall, decide to quit, think what you've written is crap; then decide it's brilliant. I learned to quit reading and keep writing and to turn off my inner editor and just let it flow.
: Cubby~Cheering House Florent!
: 12-03-08 @ 7:49am : I learned I don't need to stop after each paragraph and edit. It opened my mind and the words streamed out. It surprised me how things came together; things I had no idea how they would be worked out. What a great experience for me.
: Sara - will be back soon
: 12-03-08 @ 7:23pm : Before NaNo, I edited everything I wrote, directly after I wrote it. Now I know that I can write for hours. My inner editor doesn't always have to be on and nobody has to read it if I don't want them to. It's all fun.

: 12-06-08 @ 11:21am : like sara ann - i learned to turn off the editor and just write - couple of times i even got up from the keyboard and yelled NO when i found myself editing - a little NaNo nuts i know

: 12-06-08 @ 12:23pm : NaNoWriMo taught me that I am a writer,and to never give up. Sure there will be good and bad days;and hills and mountians to climb. But once you work through them the end results are victory....and a pretty good start to your novel.
: JACE - House Targaryen
: 12-14-08 @ 4:23pm : My goal was to write evenly each day; my results looked more like the stock market with a clutch performance of almost 20K words in the last 5 days. I made it despite my inner editor too. And I like what I wrote!
: Ghost of Stereotomy
: 12-14-08 @ 9:32pm : It taught me that I need to trust in myself and to not overthink everything I'm writing, that sometimes if I let myself go, I might just surprise myself (and often in a pleasant way).
: cherry
: 12-20-08 @ 7:39am : I learnt that persistence and creating goals (and keeping to them) can help to overcome any wall that might appear.
: Dan
: 12-30-08 @ 10:37pm : I had a few scenes and some characters - that's it. I learned I could sit down every day, without a plan, and make things connect. It might be crap - but I did it!
