I know that's absolutely wrong in NaNoWorld, but it reset the story in a better direction, and now I love it. <br /><br />I'm behind schedule, but am not stressing, so I think I'm a storyteller. :)Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-27051196327901630942011-11-08T04:19:31.810-08:002011-11-08T04:19:31.810-08:00Sylvia, thanks for stopping by!

I find that writing for one to two hours per day is better than spending a whole day writing.S.B.Niccumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937300870516627878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-85637648718968110582011-11-08T00:33:24.963-08:002011-11-08T00:33:24.963-08:00I haven't read Maass book, but I already know ...I haven't read Maass book, but I already know that I'm a storyteller.

While I'm more of a storyteller, I think I'm a combination of the two. I guess if I was much of a status seeker I'd get off my butt and get my novels out there--one way or another. :)Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-71160938256478452782011-11-07T19:02:19.507-08:002011-11-07T19:02:19.507-08:00Thanks for mentioning this book.

But in my own journey, I found my work to get more intense the further I got from personal experience and investment. I'm sure this differs between writers, though. It was a great read.
