Comment by Tonya Rice on May 30, 2012 at 8:40am: Aww, thanks Tyra! :) I understand that! Something in me pushed me this time. I've got my calendar up on the wall, so I have no choice but to keep track of the days and words. That'll help keep me on board with that project separately from my current work. I'll keep y'all posted. Thanks again for your encouragement - it means a lot!

Comment by Tyra Brumfield on May 30, 2012 at 7:48am: You're an inspiration, Tonya. I've toyed with the idea of NoWriMo for months, maybe even years. I hope you'll keep us updated to how it's going.

Comment by Tonya Rice on May 28, 2012 at 12:36pm: I love that, Cara! Thank you so much for the encouraging words!! I'm beginning to look forward to it. :)

Comment by Cara Lopez Lee on May 28, 2012 at 10:21am: Tonya, what makes you think the type of person that can do this is that you are, indeed, actually doing it. Showing up is half the battle. You go, girl!

Comment by Tonya Rice on May 28, 2012 at 7:03am: Thanks bunches, Danielle!! I do wonder how I'll fare in this move. It was an out-of-body experience when I signed up! LOL! We writers just have to do what we do. I'll keep us posted.

Comment by Danielle Boonstra on May 28, 2012 at 6:51am: @Tonya, never nuts. Brave ♥ The best writing comes out of that kind of bravery I think. :)

Comment by Tonya Rice on May 28, 2012 at 6:44am: I am still in the middle of my rewrite on my first novel and for the life of me, I'm still trying to figure out just what makes me think I can do this JuNoWriMo that starts Friday!!! I'm anxious to clear out some of the roadmaps that are forming with this other story in my head, but I also now think I'm nuts to make such a commitment!!!

Comment by Jackie Bouchard on May 25, 2012 at 2:35pm: Wed are good for me, although I know I won't be able to make it by 10PST most weeks. Maybe I could join late sometimes.
