Three to four months is my rule of thumb for banging out a 80,000 word manuscript. Editing obviously makes that process a lot longer, but I don't plan, I just write. When I plan, it slows me down, so I trust my instincts, lose myself and let the words flow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162697787444358072.post-17267556789548455642010-10-09T13:31:10.499-04:002010-10-09T13:31:10.499-04:00Sometimes when i write so fast with pen and paper ...Sometimes when i write so fast with pen and paper the beginnning of the next word used to link-up with the end of the last word, it was weird, but then i went to college and had to do lots and lots of note taking and developed a short hand which seemed to organise my mind better, so while I write fast (125 words to others' 50) my handwriting is pretty awful.LOL! :O)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162697787444358072.post-42809009810783756982010-10-09T09:34:15.857-04:002010-10-09T09:34:15.857-04:00Welcome Arlee Bird!

As far as writing, once I finally get started I can get on a roll and write pretty fast. Getting started is sometimes the big deal for me. I will probably do another round of NaNo this year. Last year it really whipped me into shape for a while.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/2010/10/wreck-in-canyon.html" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
