I'd like to know the answer to this, too! I was lucky to get paired with Ramon Perez, whose interpretation of the story was amazing.

Also, I now get to say that my work was illustrated by EISNER AWARD WINNER RAMON PEREZ.

I think NaNoWriMo is great if you want to participate in a worldwide social event that celebrates fiction writing but it's terrible if you want to write a novel.

I think if you want to write a novel, you should write every day, at your own pace, and try to tell a good story. NaNoWriMo is more about racing to a word count. I've tried it in years past and it wasn't fun for me.

My advice would be this: hold your nose and jump in.

You have two options: 1) keep your writing to yourself or 2) send it out

I wasn't confident in the story I sent to MoD, but they picked it anyway.

You're going to be unsure of yourself in the beginning of any new experience. Acknowledge it, embrace it and then move past it.
