writerfangirlIt's the eve of the NaNo: are you prepared for the big day?
Today, I hope to have more of my pre-NaNo story written. It's really bare bones right now. I've worked out who many of the main characters are and the first eleven scenes (just notes, have no idea what will happen in said scenes, except for about three), so I'm hoping that's enough. This time around, I'm gonna write like the mad woman I am. I want to get this finished as soon as possible. My hope, and it's a long shot, is to have 5,000-10,000 words written by the end of the first. Likely so not going to happen, but hey, it could. It's day one and I want the biggest chance I can get at getting ahead. I typically start slow or start right on track. Time for a new strategy. I also have to say that I'm always self-editing. I cross things out. I don't think I'll do that this time. I can't say that I won't, because sometimes self-editing brings out better words in the first draft. My second part of my plan is to write as much as I can on my computer. I love writing in a journal, but that can be tedious during the transcription period. It just takes so long and I could better use that time for actually writing the thing. But I'll be bringing that journal every where I go even so. Not gonna leave my side.
