Just like there's no right way to transition, there's no right way to write.  The whole point is to get the words out of your head.  If it works, it's great!

You are quite right Sandy, - each to their own

Getting the words out of your head is the name of the game.

Oh and another reason why I like 'Writer' is that it makes typewriter sounds in sync with my typing on the keyboard.  Two choices, - electric typewriter or manual typewriter

I actually find this to be a big help to me while I'm working on a story.  I don't know why, but it just does.

I have published a (very, extremely, horribly) rough draft of "Ship of Theseus" on Smashwords:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/594747

I'll update the file as I proceed.  Remember it still has all the authentic spelling errors, sentence problems, and scenes that end in the middle.

I'm just short of 40k words and I can see the goal of 50k off in the distance.  With luck I will complete the challenge.

Enjoy, if you're into that sort of thing...

Good job Sandy - you can do it! Unfortunately I've gotten side-tracked by too many other things this month. Just a little over 2,000.

The saying goes; "Life is what happens when you've made other plans."  My personal favorite though is; "Man plans, God laughs."

Keep writing, no matter what.  Write early, write often.  The whole point is to get the words out of your head and onto the screen.  The NaNo challenge is just a way to encourage this.  Don't wait till next year to write.  Do it whenever you can.

BTW: I'd love to read your stuff.

Unfortunately I was unwell and only made it to 6020 words, BUT I'm going to keep writing and I will certainly be back for NaNoWriMo next year.
