Does anyone have any inclinations of trying to post their NaNo manuscripts in bursts on here? Either during or after it's all over.

I'm not sure if I will or if I won't. I love to read others' writings, but I'm really bad about critiques. Spelling and some grammar I can do, but as for style and content, I'm not so great. What if they meant it to be a certain way? I'm just bad with them. But at the same time, I'd like mine critiqued!

I might have to suck it up and get on with it or something. Fifty thousand words isn't easy to edit, I would think!

I'll edit mine before I post any here! God, the typos and grammar problems and style issues and terrible characters and dialogue and repetitive descriptions will just make people's heads explode.

And that makes a mess.

I'm probably gonna end up posting mine. But after I edit things out. I currently have some sentences that are just really bad. These this one my mom and my little sister found that has the word "roof" three or four times. Yeech.

Yes... if anyone does plan on posting their NaNo Novel, please, PLEASE grammar edit and spell check it before you do. Do it to spare our sanity, and your life here. :P

I know you're not really supposed to, but I've been checking grammar and spelling after each typing session. But it's only been with the Word spellcheck doohickey. :)

I was thinking about posting some of it today before I leave for work. Hmm.

I'll post mine. MAYBE, after the rewrite I have planned.

It's so messy...
