I'm learning that it works better for me to just get the words in the document when I write. Then I can go back and edit later. I worked on something where I edited as I went along and totally threw it out because I over-wrote the piece. It was horrendous, and I had to apologize to my critique group when they reviewed it. Obviously, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for anyone else. I was just sharing. :)
I try to just get it on paper first, but I can't go more than a couple pages or so without making at least two editing passes. With NaNoWriMo, I just started with a two sentence idea and two very vague characters... normally, I like at least of page of 'hooky' backstory, a half-dozen conflict ideas, and a pretty complete outline.
If I do this next year, I will plan ahead a little bit. At least I'll come up with a concrete idea of the plot and characters.
Hopefully, it has been a learning experience for you, and I'm impressed with anyone who does it.
Uhm.... I hope you don't mind but Solnes and I converted it to our own little dungeon of love. But I'm pretty sure there's room for you to stand over by the "Velvet Maiden"..... just try not to touch anything Ok?
And with that I bid everyone good night, got a long drive in the morning.
Joanna and Dean decided to give in to their feelings for each other, but were stopped when Joanna was mauled by a pack of rabid chihuahuas. Robert was struggling with his failing health, not realizing that his condition was actually caused by a virus created by the evil Dr. Dolots, Dolittles evil twin. Meanwhile, Sam and Ellen realized that penguins....No, wait! That's my soap opera.
Today I am going to get some housework done, and work on my submission for the Pathfinder Society open call. My working title is "The Lost Chronicle." Later I'm taking my wife to see "The Blind Side."

Good luck!
What's "The Blind Side" about?
IMDB.com wrote:
"The Blind Side" depicts the remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. In the latest chapter of his inspiring story, Oher was a First Round draft pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, selected by the Baltimore Ravens. The Touhys were there to share the moment with him.
Good morning folks!!!
It is almost 11am and my house is clean and the fish sticks are in the oven. The dragon will be here later tonight, and I got an extension for my art class assignments. This is a good day!!!
