Since I grab the 6:12AM bus out of Niwot, I find it's quiet and most of the other riders are snoozing or reading. So, I fire up my laptop and crank on my novel.

While I'm writing to accomplish the National Novel Writers Month goal of 50,000 words in 30 days, I'm also trying to put the story down on paper. I've discovered that adjusting my process of pre-planning is making a huge difference. Even though I'm adjusting as I go, having a generally sound plan ahead of time makes the writing sessions go by quickly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all that&#8217;s going on, my schedule is crazy. Yeah, i know, so is everyone&#8217;s right. Well, agreed, but with the added pressure of work, long commute and doing chores on the weekend, I&#8217;ve added even more to plate. NaNoWriMo is a challenge.

The core requirements are to start from scratch, write as fast as you can and finish 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Sounds easy huh? We&#8217;ll see. Currently, in between my day job demands, family [...]]]></description>
