The most frighting and challenging part of NaNoWriMo day one is putting the first sentence on the page. After that, it gets much easier!

@Teresa Coates- What does the 'Pho' in 'Pho for three' stand for? @Jacqueline Strano- I don't know that Rock 'Round The Clock is unique enough to make me curious enough to pick up the book, but with your type of book, I'm not sure.

The Devil's Oak - working title, of course...

I totally agree, especially the part about proofing years later as the only way to be sure. Does everyone know it is very difficult to type these comments. Skips letters a lot. Can it be fixed?

Love your post--thank you for the stats on reading, which explains a lot; that horrific and unfortunately often cropping-up perception of writing as worthless is a bottomless well to explore!
