It might even <i>help</i> BT if you write PoL at the same time. The change of scenery and the extra rush you get from cranking out the extra words may ignite your literary booster rockets! The trick, as you say, will be keeping your worlds straight. (I use differnt font/color settings - a simple switch of preferences files in my writing software - for different novels so that my subconscious mind knows where my conscious mind needs to be when I look at the screen.) You might look back and regret missing out on NaNoWriMo 2009 - you can't undo that - so why not at least <i>try</i> to do both.

And Sara had a good suggestion, I like her idea. I'm in a similar situation with what I want to do with NaNo but not exactly my word count is significantly less than what you've got so it's less of a bind...I don't know do what you feel in your heart is best.Hayley Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786674202167099600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891543839553947104.post-19743370775897447662009-10-27T12:17:46.208-07:002009-10-27T12:17:46.208-07:00Ugh that's a really tough situation.

It's not every day you reach the can't-stop-writing part and you'd probably want to keep the momentum going. Depending on how far you are into it, you could work on it for NaNo too - another 50,000 words or maybe just finish the novel by the end of November? Good luck! I'm NaNoing too :)Julie Daohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814052162359300933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891543839553947104.post-10636988619316677262009-10-27T08:40:05.488-07:002009-10-27T08:40:05.488-07:00Hmmm I really want to do Nano too!

I made myself a revision schedule (well more of a guideline really) that would allow me to start querying agents in December. So as much as I want to do it, I don't want to lose time on my revision either. I don't know...personally I think go full steam ahead. You don't need Nano to write, just stay on the roll you're on and then write the next book when your done.Frankie Diane Mallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066659801542129040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891543839553947104.post-72836607805942722202009-10-27T07:58:08.113-07:002009-10-27T07:58:08.113-07:00Hey, I'm in the same situation!

I have been since...September? Maybe? Anyway, I'm just over 30,000 words in. I want to do NaNo very much too. Thus I plan on using NaNo to polish off the last 40,000. No, it isn't the 50,000 to win, but it's still pretty darn impressive. I also plan on using NaNo to edit too; so I figure that counts for something? Maybe not a specific word count, but it counts in spirit. <br /><br />That's just what I plan on doing. Hope it helps a bit :)Sara Raaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196505323463444186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891543839553947104.post-59661007770230429182009-10-27T02:49:41.453-07:002009-10-27T02:49:41.453-07:00What a dilemma!

I'm really horrible about working on more than one project at a time, so Nano will be different for me to work on only one.<br /><br />Maybe you could split the word count between the two - or maybe write only the necessary word count daily in your new project and work on Blood Ties after you get those words on PoL-like as a reward :)Kristi Faithhttp://kristifaith.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891543839553947104.post-79410443037479916662009-10-27T01:42:33.053-07:002009-10-27T01:42:33.053-07:00I don't know, I'd be hesitant to break the...I don't know, I'd be hesitant to break the flow.
