I'm glad to hear you're going to be trying your hand at a short story, too! Let me know how yours turns out! =)Hayley Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863143843704953161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741484401668825547.post-90360835666969876722011-07-19T19:14:37.243-07:002011-07-19T19:14:37.243-07:00I love that you posted this because I myself haven...I love that you posted this because I myself haven't even tried to write about how camp nano did not turn out right for me.

I'm a huge advocate for NaNoWriMo but I'm not sure it's suited to my individual writing style/habits anymore, alas!<br /><br />@Katie - Ooh, very good points! It can be frustrating having so many ideas constantly coming to you, and you're right, short stories can be the perfect outlet for some of them.

It gets some of those smaller ideas out of your head and on to paper, PLUS published short stories are valuable writing credits.
