Lost in Nanowrimo Land...
This video was posted today on the Nanowrimo page and I have to say they must know what they're doing, or they are psychic, because this is just so daggum timely for me! I loved this vid! You name it, I edit it. Anything. Facebook, texts, message boards and such, I will (mentally) edit anything. It kills me with all this crap I've written just sitting there, whispering and pleading to be put under the knife as it were. It is hard to contain myself from editing, almost harder than actually doing the novel to begin with. And the month they picked to hold this little writing motivation pow wow. November. Really? Thanksgiving, Christmas prep, getting ready for guests, homeschooling, washing clothes, bathing, eating... (you get my humorous point by now right, when would it be good to take on writing 50,000 in 30 days?) But I am over 10,000 words and I'm enjoying it. The boys are enjoying school, loved the Vikings and the Middle Ages. We are currently in China, Ian's personal obsession. We may be having family for Thanksgiving, yay!!! We have our 7th wedding anniversary this month and Bob turns 32 in a week. Lots to keep me busy, lots to look forward to. So busy, so good. Off to write...Love you all. XOXO

10,000 words! I guess you figured out what to write about then. I never heard of Nanowrimo before this month, but it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI still have no idea if there is enough "there" for 50,000 words but I'm in too far to start over now.
ReplyDeleteHow did it go? Was it a good exercise for you?
ReplyDeleteMy inner editor is a Great White for sure: ruthless, bloodthirsty, relentless.
I admire your ambition, and hope it was a worthwhile thing to do!
I loved it but when I went to post it in for word validation it was already closed for the year so although I did reach the word count I am not an official winner. I am bummed. I keep meaning to write about it on here but I just didn't really know what to say. I loved it. I edit like there is no tomorrow. So that part was hard. Thank you ever so much for stopping by Susan <3
