I've got at least 4 started-but-never-finished novels (or perhaps short stories I don't know). I think of the four there is one, and possibly a second that will get completed but I am also a bit of a starter but not a finisher. Might have to buy GordonG's book though - I like the sound of it from the amazon link. I don't have the time to do NaNoWriMo this year but maybe one year I will.

I'm enjoying it GG - I'm slow reading it as it's my lunchtime at work read and I only get 30 mins!

I'm completely with you on that EP. My wife can read a whole book in a week, whereas I tend to read a few pages at a time and not go back to the book for a number of days

Tried this a couple of times. I have great stories (honest) in my head that would make great books. But something happens between my brain and the keyboard and it is just rubbish. If they ever invent Ghost Writer NanoWriMo , I'm in

I think many of us are the same bigleggy. It all seems so straightforward in our minds!! I'm reminded of a quote from the nun in Derry girls, after she watches girls from her school performing on stage at Assembly. "watching you really brings it home to me just how talented... professionals are" 🤣 |

I used to write my uni essays when running and fix coding problems but as soon as I got home and had a pen in my hand blank! Mind you I did once sit in the bar at Ascot races (Mr Pix loves the races) coding on the back of betting slips! haha |

There used to be a big annual push on this, a decade ago or so? Nywanda was an auld friend who was big into it, but she left this stage a long while ago. If you trawl the threads there might be a snippet or two (if any of it survived The Great Thread Cull of ~2014).
