NaNoWriMo aka where I’ll be for the next month.
If you don’t know what this is, you should. It’s National Novel Writing Month, it’s the yearly celebration and marathon writing session. It’s free to participate and wonderful to participate in.
This year I’ve decided I’d finally join in. Writing is always a ‘pastime’ but it’s past time that I got more than general ideas on post-its. It’s time to give myself a word count and a deadline and see what I can make of it. I expect it to be awful, with a few moments of “ooh I like that bit” thrown in.
I’ve vowed to remember the following:
1) Just write. Beginning, middle, end, it doesn’t matter, just write.
2) Do not edit.
3) DO NOT EDIT.
4) Make your word count and don’t be frustrated if you’re a bit shy, you have days off… use them.
5) DO NOT EDIT! there’s plenty of time for that in December, January etc
I’ve decided to take on a very narrow focused piece, I hate to admit it but it’s fan fiction. There I’ve said it. Now, lest you think that I’m writing smutty slash fiction (not that there’s anything wrong with that cause I do actually like reading some smutty slash fiction) it’s not. Well I don’t think it is, but ask me again mid-November and it may have ‘evolved’.
I promise to post at least my Friday Fun music and maybe something here or there about the slog to write 1700 words a day for 30 days.
Wish me luck!
Go you!!! Best of luck!!!
Good luck and hang in there.
