Continue on, MF! I really do think your love for espresso is larger than you and your whole world. Eyes like pools of espresso indeed. It gives Italy a whole new light for me, you should turn it into a book if you finish by the end of Nov. I am all for rule bending, especially if it means you will finish this story. What did you decide?

Hey I say if you've got more to say, continue to run with it! I'm still having a hard time of thinking of how words equate out to number of pages too. 50,000 seems like a whole lotta words. Little intimidated to have signed on for this project, but should be fun! LJ’s last blog post..begging you for mercy It *is* a whole lotta words...we'll get there eventually!

Well now you started it like that, you can’t just leave it, you have to write more.

I can’t handle cliff hangers.

So glad that you are doing this, I can’t wait to read it!
Woo Hoo!!

Thanks, as always, for your support. They won’t be forgotten–in fact I have another 20,000 words or so full of Sal and Sal….

I signed up for NaNo but now I’m thinking I was crazy when I did that. Aighh!

I’m pretty sure being crazy is a prerequisite

Rules are meant to be broken…especially anything to do with writing! Go with what feels right. Just write!

I’ve done NaNo the last 3 years & I’ve followed the rules, starting fresh every time. But every time the same characters kept emerging. After last year’s NaNo, I realized that from those 3 NaNos I could pull out one story, so I’ve been working on that this year. I’ve got a first draft completed.

I’ll be doing NaNo again this year. Not quite sure what I’ll be working on just yet. But the clock is ticking & I realize I need to really start thinking….off to think…

Good for you Alison! What a great turn of events! And thank you for your support

I like it. I think you should continue and bend the rules a little. I mean, who would know but us 15 right now? LOL

Unless of course, you have a fresh NEW story to tell?

Hah, thanks! I’m actually leaning toward starting fresh now…good thing I still have a little while to decide

Which do you want more? I think it’d be perfectly fair to work with what you’ve got, but it’d also be fair to start fresh… or go somewhere in the middle, which is starting fresh-ish, using what’s in your head from last year but in a new direction. Go for it, however feels best.

Thanks for fixing it so I could read it. The post cut off at the juicy part !

Trust you to write a novel with coffee in it – I say go with the flow. If this novel is pouring out of you, it’s already got and interesting beginning, so see it to the end !

In bocca al lupo.

It’s hard for me to keep coffee *out* of anything I write Glad you could finally read it!

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the book! I look forward to reading it.
I think you should change someones name as then the book is ‘different’ and you are not cheating. Or change something small, which makes it a teeny tiny bit different.
