Things are not all fine in NaNoWriMo land. I added to my word count later Friday night, after blogging about my few bad days, getting to 17,109 words. And there I have stalled. The problem was the weekend — we were busy, and I read with most of my spare time, not to mention I've had lots of paying writing to attend to. Hopefully I can start working daily on my novel again, starting tomorrow.
In the meantime, here is a link to a wonderful little list of published NaNoWriMo authors. How many of these writers or authors have you heard of? Here is my (short) list of the ones I recognize:
* Amelia Atwater-Rhodes - I read her first novel in my YA lit class in college. I could tell she was very young when she wrote it, though, so I wonder if her writing has matured any. Her published NaNo novel was Persistence of Memory.
* Sara Gruen - Her NaNo novels, Flying Changes and Water for Elephants, are both really popular. I've had a friend at the barn recommending both to me (as well as a third one, Riding Lessons) for almost a year now. I'll definitely have to read them now that I know they are NaNo novels!
There are a few others on the list that seem vaguely familiar, but I don't know where I recognize them from. What names or books on the list do you recognize? Any surprises?
