Donna,

Nano was also about pure output for me. Since I started my website I've probably got 100,000+ unedited words I need to polish and publish. I'll be working on that all of this month. Just need to write my ezine for the 4th.

I really like the theme of your site and you're a great writer and better at grammar than me ;) I notice that some of your pages end in numbers or in the blog title. I think you could get more traffic, build a larger list and sell more of your ebooks if you spent some time learning about what keywords to use and how to optimize your pages.

I used SBI to learn and build my site and they make their action guide available for free: http://action-guide.sitesell.com/ but I don't like their Brainstorm It tool as much as good old google for keyword research. My site is about a year old and a part time thing. I get nearly 500 unique visitors per day and it grows organically every month even if I don't add more content.

Anyway, if you want help learning about keyword research I'm willing to help (Hope you don't think I'm being rude). And we could move it to private chat or another group if Sandra wants to keep this for Nano only.

Also in the interest of full disclosure I am an affiliate for SBI, all their customers automatically are, but the link I posted is not an affiliate link. You seem to have your hosting, ezine and all of that figured out. But choosing good keywords will help you get more traffic and google keyword tool and search work great for that and they are free.

LoL I have not written today anything either and I do not even plan to do so but I am having little withdrawal symptoms from nanowrimo .. still writing out all the words rather than shorting them up haha.
Yesterday I was thinking "wow that was so much fun and now this group will be silent another year before it comes back to life" hihi ;))

1667 words on dec 1st? No. No words at all! Lol. I am 'having a break' from my story. Then one day soon I might edit a little and polish a bit and see if I still have a story left! (when I say 'a little' and 'a bit', I mean A LOT!)

I really need to edit before hitting "Add comment"

*moving other people's stuff*

I'm editing and publishing my oatmeal raisin cookie, sugar cookie and brownie recipe. I'd love to write more today but I'll be putting up baseboards, door and window frames and moving our people's stuff out of what will be our new kitchen.

I'll also be steering clear of all electrical work. Hubby can do that :P

Maybe I'll do some writing if we get home early enough.

lol are you crazy? Just joking, well I COULD since my story started to develop last minute yesterday so I "could" or "should" but not sure if I will *lol* and you?

Comment by Michelle Zack on December 1, 2009 at 1:34pm

So December first, anyone planning to write 1667 words today?

LOL
