Iam wondering...how can people write a novel in a month? The concept sounds interesting but looking at my current writing speed, I would take 10 years ;)

Well, 50K is an awfully short novel. ;)

It actually took me until ... January, I think, to finish the only NaNovel I ever actually finished.

hm...50K does not sound too much, right. It's just about 5 times as long as anything I ever finished. Or even 10 times.

You finished yours in 3 months? Wow. probably there is hope for e yet ;)

What I meant to tell you...I'm sorry. You left me more than one review that I did not answer. The last months were a bit erratic for me. I appreciated them all, thank you so much.

Hello, I love your stories, and I dont't mind if you write them slowly, as long as you DO write them.
And, by the way, you don't have to be SO very quick if you have a plan and just have to flesh it up - two or three days to a chapter and at the end of a month you have a NOVEL.
Did you notice that I said nothing about the said novel's quality? ;P
Your writing speed is just fine.
(Of course, REALLY, I want more, and more, and more stories about Alec and James, I am just being polite.)

It looks like I have a reader out there I did not know of ;)

Hi Dikela. First, thanks for the praise. i'm glad you enjoy what I write and you're right - I have to write more, and finish a few I've started.

Quality of a novel...if I ever, ever write one, I'm sure the frist draft will look very, very funny *G*.

Hi!
As a reader of Alec!Fics I am about a year old - I've decided that I liked Sean Bean enough to start watching his movies. And then I began looking for Alec and Ian Howe fics.
Alas, these are small fandoms and it is almost impossible to find a writer there who likes them. So, you can be sure of at least one faithfull reader.
I didn't comment before because my lj is very, very new.
Best wishes, Dika.
