I always plan out no fuss dinners. Most of my writing is in the morning so they aren't around. Kid and hubs work.<br /><br />I participated but I didn't get half way this year, but I knew I wouldn't because of work. Good news I'm still writing the story so that's a good thing. :-) Inspiration? Pffft. Mine starts with an idea and goes from there. <br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a><br /><br />~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-41971453069914609692013-12-10T21:07:01.083-07:002013-12-10T21:07:01.083-07:00I love the title of your post.

Thankfully my boss thought it was funny when he'd say something to me and it would take me a moment to catch up. I hadn't ever considered now it can effect non-NaNo's though. It is great, how much families endure for their writing members.

NaNo is an impossibility for me until.... Well, maybe when I retire?<br /><br />Congratulations on a successful NaNo!StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-58129910199031085002013-12-10T07:50:54.608-07:002013-12-10T07:50:54.608-07:00Cheers for your NaNo-ing!

I'm happy to hear your family is still intact!! :)<br /><br />My favorite pep talk quotes were these:<br /><br />"If you need inspiration, try perspiration. If you’re meant to write, you’ll write. Sure, we’re all stymied from time to time, struggling over how best to shape a character or how to bring a crucial scene to life. But the best way to confront such problems is to sit down and start typing. Things happen when you make them happen." ~Ralph Peters<br /><br />"That resistance you’re feeling is proof that you’re digging deep. To write a novel is to lose your way and find it over, and over, and over again. ~Lev Grossman<br /><br />Best of luck continuing with your novel!!<br /><br />Happy reading and writing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.com
