November 1-
Status- Well, October didn’t go as planned. I allowed the manuscript edits of Project Underground to intimidate me so I didn’t start till late in the month. And once I started, various hiccups during the last week, not to mention planned AFK time for Halloween and our 11 year anniversary, derailed what work I had going on. So Project Underground is not complete. I’m halfway through Chapter 9 of 27. Yeah. Suck. It is my priority, still. Thus, PFK2 is the stepchild here, the afterthought. But I can’t ignore it entirely, as I have a war going on with Nate Lowell for him to do NaNo in 15 days, so if I don’t do NaNo in 30, I’m going to look pretty damn lame.
So two projects at once! Am I set up for failure? I don’t know. I won’t know till I stop this blogging and start with the writing, now, will I?
(Oh- PFK2? Not outlined. I think the title of this podcast should change to “Do as I say, not as I do.” *sigh*)
Anyway. I’m going to try to figure out how to get an ISBW NaNo community going, so let’s start here with leaving a comment with your user ID for NaNoWriMo. Do this only if you want me and other ISBW people to add you as a buddy. I’m going to try to slog through and add everyone on my buddy list.

Go, Mur! Go! I’ll see you on the other side of 50,000 words. Here’s hoping we both have near-complete, first draft manuscripts on December 1st.
May the force be with you.
I’m in exactly the same boat (well, not LITERALLY the same boat). I’m doing a major edit on a novel for submission (editor is waiting for it) and I’m doing Nano once again plus the podcast, of course. I think I’m going to be getting a lot less sleep than usual.

See you at 50K!
I’ve just discovered my notes prepping for Nano are missing. I’m a bit shaken but as K8 reminded me, I have my head and my imagination. I’ll make it through. I’m up for the ISBW Nano Community.

Oh, the excitement of Nano! I mean, we’d all be writing anyway, but there’s nothing wrong with a little motivation. Good luck with your projects Mur and good luck with Nano everyone!

YAY FOR NANOWRIMO! Go Mur go! You are so prolific, I know you can do it. However, I have severe doubts about my own abilities, as I have never finished a long project (well, unless you count a dissertation, ha ha). I am listening to old ISBWs for inspiration!
Starre, user # 141340
I’m definitely open to friending.
Go Mur, you can do it!!! It’s late in the day, had to much going on this morning to even begin. That and the websites not giving me my login info. Grrrrrrr. Oh well, time to sit down and get to banging.
Good Luck all!
Hey Mur… I would be beyond delighted to join a Nano community. I’m “halbano.”
Good luck!!

I’m cpillsbury (and hoping nobody on my own writing site notices me there
)… and not really happy with the first 2400 words as my Tooth Fairy as a bat-like monster isn’t playing out how I’d like… it’s more Peter Benchley and Michael Crichton than Christopher Moore (which is where I’d like to take it).
Good luck!

Hi Mur,
Congratulations! — You said you were going to do NaNoWriMo, and you are. Awesome! Good luck to you.
Sandy — I definitely count a dissertation as a long project, as I am working on mine now.
Good luck fellow writers!
I’m getting a late start on Nano, but plan on finishing strong!

Eek! You de-lurked me!
I started looking into this website about a month ago and wanted to wait until I had caught up listening from podcast 1. But here I am. (Listening to podcast 13 right now)
Excited to join in the community.

Not sure where to find my User ID.
Hey Mur,
I just started listening again after a year or so hiatus, and I’m super glad I am. I decided to try out NanoWrimo this year, so hopefully, your great advice and enthusiasm will help me through it.
My info is:
username-Summitch

You could do a nano community/board on the forums. It would be cool to see activity over there again.

Great idea on the community forums, I could use all the motivation I can get.

If I write more than 100 words, I’ll consider it a success.
Buddies, encouragement and cheers are most welcomed.
