Because we all know our books aren't finished at 50K. But from the sounds of your blog post, you're not in danger of falling off that ledge. Go you!B.E.

Both you and Janet have proven that you can do exactly that. B.E.

It's starting with a blank page and filling it with words to form sentences grouped together to make paragraphs on pages that becomes chapters that form a book. Or at least the beginnings of a book. If you don't start, you won't finish. And if you don't finish by November 30, you finish by December 15th, or New Year's, or Valentine's Day. The point is to commit and to finish. And damn straight that November ain't over yet! Now get to work. Yeah, yeah...I'm one to talk. I'm going. ;)Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378702741483615751.post-34516070341131592942013-11-15T06:52:41.983-06:002013-11-15T06:52:41.983-06:00*sigh*
