They can always rewrite - and in these days of word processing it's much easier than when I was growing up and it was first handwritten, then the typewriter and lots of typos and then typing the whole thing again. But they will go writing a few sentences and fiddling, then deleting the whole thing and start again...

That's what I need to drill deep into my brain: they can be a total wreck! It's okay! Let them be garbage! <br /><br />Anyway, that was my pep talk to myself on your blog. Good luck with NaNo, but I doubt you'll need it since it's only about finishing, thankfully.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.com
