NaMoPaiMo days nine through twelve

The middle parts of NaMoPaiMo can be hard. 

The initial surge of enthusiasm has burned itself out and the last minute panic has not yet kicked in. The people who are still prepping and procrastinating aren't sure they'll ever start. The people who are painting aren't sure they're going to finish. Half the people hate their models. More than a couple of those models have already been stripped.

Like I said, the middle parts of NaMoPaiMo can be hard.

And yet, we keep going. Here are some of the progress - and lack of progress - reports from the last four days.

The NaMoPaiMo Champions of the Day for February 9, 10, 11 and 12 are four painters who have been working steadily throughout the month. Congratulations, Jill Webb, Gretchen Glover, Jes Michaels and Jessica Oglesbee! Your dedication and determination are an example to us all!

For everyone who is struggling to get going or keep going, that's okay, too. The middle parts of NaMoPaiMo won't last forever. Just do your best to keep going. It will get easier!
