    So many great ones! I always get nervous when I see the NaNo prep ones – I love doing NaNo, but rarely do any prep! The joys of being a pantster! :)

    Thanks for including my Write Angle one :)

  2. Margot KinbergOctober 28, 2012

    Elizabeth – All these links to NaNoWriMo are making me question my decision not to participate. Hmmmmm… As always, the rest of the links are great too – thanks!

  3. Alex J. CavanaughOctober 28, 2012

    Wow, thanks for including one of my posts!!

  4. L. Diane WolfeOctober 28, 2012

    A lot of NaNo prep. Five obnoxious things writers do? I bet there’s more.

  6. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsOctober 28, 2012

    Alex–A great post!

    Jemi–No prep needed…just show up and write!

    Margot–There’s not ever any way I can participate, but I really feed off of everyone else’s energy.

    Diane–I had a NaNo link day on Tuesday last week. :) And…ha! Yes, probably at least 20 obnoxious things!
