That is impressive.<br /><br />David~ Wow, you are well on your way. <br /><br />Loree~ Sometimes it is strange moving from one to the other. I think it makes it harder to get completely into the characters.Dawn Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812066956850617957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150179607441468539.post-58986452787385015922011-04-30T10:30:42.645-05:002011-04-30T10:30:42.645-05:00I'm actually working on two at once for the fi...I'm actually working on two at once for the first time.<br /><br />Both are in final revisions.

Other than that, I have several short stories that could be novel ideas. And I have my current wip which is undergoing major revisions as we speak.Linnette Rochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07656198587192557526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150179607441468539.post-86363464712704003372011-04-28T07:50:16.344-05:002011-04-28T07:50:16.344-05:00Wow!

I...You've got a nice looking husband there! :)<br /><br />I would have bundles more, but I've lost so many files over the years to computer crashes. (now I'm almost anal about backing stuff up, even printing hard copies.)<br /><br />I currently have two active WIPs. 2010s NaNo, the sequel to 2008s NaNo, at 55k words... needs about 5k more, I'm guessing. And a story I started a long time ago that I'd left idling on the internet and just picked back up last year. It's at 68k words... I'd like to get it up to 75k, because I know it'll lose a lot in revisions.<br /><br />Others... 2006s NaNo that I need to retype (thank goodness I'd printed it out!) has around 50k.<br />2009s NaNo; I'd done a series of shorts that year and one stood out as wanting to become a novel. That one has about 20k words.<br />Several shorts ranging between 5 and 10k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
