As if the pressure of NaNoWriMo wasn't enough... I've learned that March is NaNoEdMo (National Novel Editing Month) and with it comes the encouragement to pick up that red pen and let a nice little community of writers tear your manuscript to pieces.Am I going to participate? You betcha. Am I terrified?
Uh, yeah. Very.
So far, besides my Creative Writing class in college, and my high school English teachers, NO ONE has read my stuff. -- Actually, that's a lie, as Will read a paragraph over my shoulder the other day and nearly lost a limb as a result. I'm hideously insecure.
So that's why I'm going to push myself to participate in EdMo come March. That gives me 3 months to get this story finished and suck it up for some major revisions. I've bitten all my nails off just thinking about it!
I'll keep you all posted. I'm scared, but excited to reach my new goal! And if you want to find out more about NaNoEdMo - or if you have a finished, but unedited manuscript laying around and want to join in, be sure to visit their website {BY CLICKING HERE}.

I was thinking I was going to participate in this next year. Having second thoughts! Actually, it sounds like a great way to stretch yourself creatively, best of luck with the next stage.
Wow! Wishing you luck! =D
You know, half of the fun in succeeding, is getting there..Fright and all..You will do well..keep those thoughts in your head..
