I love information you share here and am cheering on fellow writers participating in NaNo this year--next year is my goal to “bleed” out fiction in possibly more plays and stories. Sending wishes for a good surgery outcome and recovery!

Thanks, Linda. And let the bleeding begin soon. (I mean that in the best of ways!) I am so excited about the upcoming surgery--I cannot wait to be enjoying long walks again.

Self-faith is a muscle. I absolutely love this! And yes, NaNo is helping me get words on a page (and so are you.) They are not necessarily the best words, or in the best order, and may not even make reader-worthy sense yet, but that can come later. I'm so happy to be writing bunches of words for bunches of hours, and am looking forward to complaining about editing!

You are a born writer, my friend! I love that writing bunches of words for bunches of hours is making you so happy! And you can whine about editing to me all you want when the time comes.

Even though my active commenting fell off a bit I enjoy your posts. Good luck with your surgery.
