Friends (and otters, of course) I emerge from my post-NaNo downtime to address the issue of the Post-NaNo Slump. After a month of excitement and wordiness, you can feel pretty tired and a bit lonely. There's no more frenzied and frequent posting on the forums, no more scrambling (if you were scrambling) to meet that 1,667 words per day that leads to a win, no more...NaNo... [insert single tear coursing poetically down face here]
What's one to do when NaNo is done? Why look ahead, of course. Whether your novel is done or not, I've got some tips here for when you're ready to edit that baby! The folks at Grammarly have put together a lovely look at the most common first draft issues and ways to deal with them.

You can click on the image to go to Grammarly's site, and see it full size, which I admit is going to be much easier to read. This is basic stuff, and applies across the board, whether one NaNos or not. Or follow this link to Grammarly.com!
I'll be posting Historic Interviews again soon (Jane Seymour is up next), and will be interviewing my fellow Collier Bluff books author Jes Saint in the New Year. She's hilarious, so you won't want to miss that one.
