I really enjoyed your reading, looking forward finishing the rest of the book. I did NaNoWriMo last year and found it to be everything I needed it to be. I got to the word count, at the absolute last minute, and then tossed the manuscript aside, maybe for good. But the good thing about it is it taught me that I can write that many words in a month, not all of them great, but some parts were. And I need the pressure, a goal that I can't change, a deadline that I didn't set, but still have to meet. It made me focus and take control of my writing and my life, instead of the kids (3 and 5) taking control of me. I had a priority and a goal and I cannot wait until November 1st!! You will enjoy it and should join up with the group. I am sure you would really help to inspire a lot of young writers out there. Debbie Hey Tina,
