But still on the trail, I'd say. I tried it last year, as well. I started without a plot and ended up writing diddly but generating a few ideas I developed all year, so it was worth it in the end. My advice to anyone is to give it a try but don't set yourself up to be crushed if you don't finish. Oh, and I think working full-time and having a toddler can reduce your word count to 25,000 with no guilt. Or maybe that's just me. In any case, good luck to all. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
