In a more professional survey, I would have worded it as "neither frustrated nor satisfied" but that was too wordy.<br /><br />I *wish* I didn't care! but that huge pile called "life" tends to slide down and bury me if I don't do some minimal shoveling each day.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-25174673787470822452011-02-25T12:43:21.093-05:002011-02-25T12:43:21.093-05:00I have the opposite problem - trying to trim down ...I have the opposite problem - trying to trim down my 136k novel!<br /><br />Loved the survey, btw. There was one choice I didn't see in the question about satisfaction with the non-writing tasks - the "I don't care" choice!roh morgonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823641709307631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-27825754541355920822011-02-21T06:32:04.786-05:002011-02-21T06:32:04.786-05:00Hey there Dawn,
I really worried about having eno...Hey there Dawn,<br /> I really worried about having enough to fill 100K in the beginning, but I've been working on it for so long and rewriting that I kept finding things to add. Also, I'm finding on this draft that there are a lot of "business" scenes I skipped, and filling in those also helps with the word count. <br /> Hang in there! You'll do it.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-53468695912603914572011-02-21T00:10:21.378-05:002011-02-21T00:10:21.378-05:00Wow!

It seems easier to me to go from too long to a solid word count than the other way around.<br /><br />That is a good question. I struggle to finish and revise because I am easily distracted by other novels. hmm will have to think about it some more.<br /><br />Yay for your progress and good luck with the novel.Dawn Embershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214560861614476799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-3710361500279075642011-02-20T08:54:11.582-05:002011-02-20T08:54:11.582-05:00Off the top of my head, I'm a flighty perfecti...Off the top of my head, I'm a flighty perfectionist. I want everything to be perfect but I know it won't be so I procrastinate until *something* nudges me in the right direction and then I try to plow through. That would explain why I'm determined to outline the next novel-- more chance of getting a tad closer to perfect so it's less scary to think about actually writing.<br />- Sophia.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926811798176739307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-34936614134191961952011-02-20T08:50:04.458-05:002011-02-20T08:50:04.458-05:00yay for you!yay for you!Michelle Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747275507200268417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-87261200986263266292011-02-20T06:44:04.291-05:002011-02-20T06:44:04.291-05:00Please do, Tracy!Please do, Tracy!Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-13025421634838564542011-02-20T06:40:48.389-05:002011-02-20T06:40:48.389-05:00christine, very good question...It's been whil...christine, very good question...It's been while since I've done my personality profile.
