Still hanging in there, a few ideas ahead of the curve. The daily posts are so helpful. Yay! Thanks!

I’m on schedule, just 1 ahead and enjoying all the blog posts. Thanks, Tara!

I’m keeping up, thanks to the inspiring posts and comments. Thanks, Tara!

Doing well. Lots of ideas-some better than others but getting them down.

I have 16 ideas so far, but they are coming in fits and starts this year. I will refocus in the second half to daily space for creativity and inspirarion.

I’m having so much fun that I’m ahead. Thanks so much for organizing this!

I’ve written ideas or a story title each day. The guest posts have provided amazing glimpses into writers’ creativity. I simply show up! Thank you, Tara.

Doing FABULOUS. Am at 27 ideas already, and having a blast! Thank you SO MUCH!

Confident that I’ll end this month with 30 story ideas–I have 15 so far–some that I’ll revise during Meg Miller’s ReViMo in January. Love the guest bloggers and all the member support! You’ve done a good, good thing, Tara Lazar!

I’m keeping up–at least one idea per day. Some ideas are more fleshed out than others, but no single beginning to end story has arrived yet. I will be ready for it when it comes, however.

One of my favorite authors! Not afraid to use scary characters. James and the Giant Peach is the best!

Chugging along. Happy if I have 1 idea a day. Some days are better than others but I’m enjoying the focus PiBoIdMo gives me.

I love Roald Dahl. The ideas are coming. Enjoying the posts!

Like…completing NaNoWriMo (I hit 50K yesterday!) AND PiBoIdMo in one month! One down, continuing to work diligently on the other!

I once knew an older gentleman who told me that the greatest thing about aging was that he could do whatever crazy thing he wanted, and everyone just attributed it to senility! He and Roald would have gotten along famously!

I Love this quote! Now THERE’s a Challenge!

Quotes like this help and motivate writers each day of their lives. Thanks for sharing.

Such power in those words. True for writing and life in general. Thanks for the reminder from Roald, Tara.

Especially in picture books! This is something I’ve been told during critiques, to stretch and reach that truly outrageous place that will make my manuscript pop. Still trying to get there!

I didn’t start being really adventurous until my 50′s! It really helps when writing picture books – I am learning to stop “parenting” myself and my stories so much. Thanks for including this quote today, it will remind me to be outrageous and zany as I figure out what to do with the words in my head and in my notebook.

My favorite children’s author of all time ahhhh

Oh to have met Roald Dahl

I should post that quote on my little pin board above my desk!

Every day I question why words have the effect on me that they do,and also why I find it important to collect them. Just something that can’t be ignored,and has become part of my DNA.

freedom, wonderful freedom… if you make it financialy ! (or depend on someone else ! )

This is a good reminder, thanks Tara. I am just beginning to feel that freedom but have yet to truly experience it in a way that fully releases my Muse. Workin’ on that.

freedom is so wonderful…now how to pay the bills as well?!

This is probably why I’m so happy right now.

I think being able to express one’s self through words or art is a wonderful kind of freedom. Best of all, if your work resonates with someone else, you’re able to free that person too!

Love that. I could argue with it in many ways, but when you’re in the moment, actually writing, this is the heart of it.

a free fool…the best kind!

When I read good writing, I am so thankful for these authors…they change the world.

So true. I know of nothing else that allows me to get completely lost in time than writing — except maybe a magical hike.

(trying to look lovely)

Such a sweet sentiment!

Better than make-up!

I love this!

I’m sunbeaming on a sunny island

‘Sending many good thought your way this day! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this event!!!

Love! Thank you. Posts like this somehow make me take a deep breath

My first time with PiBo. Sounds crazy, but I’m combining writing the NaNoWriMo while pushing my creative juices for a nonfiction picture book.

I love that quote!

Thanks for the “Good Thoughts” wishes. In my Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze GHOST voice, “Ditto!!!”
