Such a bad month with the holidays coming and trying to get everything in order for that. Now that the kids are grown and gone, the pressure isn't on like it used to be, but I still have that "mindset" that my busiest time of year is NOW and I'm sure a lot of that is because of the publishing business--we have so Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-51603511665138619452017-11-13T13:10:11.142-06:002017-11-13T13:10:11.142-06:00I have never attempted NANO.

You certainly were thorough. I don't think I will ever attempt to participate in NANO, but I can see how it could be very helpful.<br />I should sign this "Poky Writer".

My kids were still young enough that I felt guilty taking time away from my family and work commitments.
