The new story project I've been making notes on, HALF OF FOREVER, is on hold until November 1 when NaNoWriMo starts. Is anyone else here other than April and me planning to do NaNoWriMo this year?
STORM DAMAGE is with my editor and I have no firm date on when I'll get it back. She is a full-time teacher at my school and will have to work on it in between grading papers and preparing lessons.
So, what's a writer to do? I'll be working on another manuscript I finished the first draft of while I was laid up recovering from surgery this summer. The working title is STONE'S HEART and, like the other two, it is a Buzby Beach story. It needs a lot of work and some fleshing out but I think it will be a great read when it's done.
What have you got going on this week to keep you busy?

@DWDavis I have the first book River Dream downloaded and the other 2 in my cart. I'm going to start reading it very soon as they do sound like books I'd be interested in reading.

@Marilynda1225 If you enjoy them, may I ask that you leave a review on Amazon. Positive reviews are an indie author's lifeline.

@bunnybon7 When I don't feel like writing anything, I write about not feeling like writing anything. The next thing I know, I've written more than I thought I could.

Good luck with the books. I will be hiding in the house most of the week. It is wet and dreary outside.

@wolfgirl569 We don't need it, but it looks like we're getting some tonight anyway. I pray it doesn't amount too much.

I participate in NaNoWriMo sometimes. I am not sure if I will be doing it this year or not. I feel like I have been in a creative slump these past few months and am not sure if I have the focus for it this year. Then again, I would really like to get my current writing project going again. There is a lot of writing that still needs to be done.

@things4gotten This will be my 8th year participating and, I hope, my 8th year reaching the Winner's Circle. Two of my NaNoWriMo projects have gone on to become published novels.

@DWDavis That might be a fun idea! I will see how things are when October rolls around.
Do you participate every year?
