Oh and there's another thing I learned: my first draft sucks! Forget pretty words, poetic descriptions, realistic dialogue and character development. Pshhh, that's for Non-NaNo-ers. Besides, I'm naturally a slow writer so all that stuff needs to go out the window right now. And no offense to me, but my previous style wasn't exactly pumping out novels. I'm here to get 'er done.
Speaking of which, I gotta go. Please forgive the short and pointless post. If you're NaNo-ing look me up! I'm Little_Light and I'd love to be your writing buddy. If you're not NaNo-ing please feel free to share some advice, inspiration or encouragement. I'm not sure I'll be quite this motivated by next week...
Best of luck! Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think I'm going to need stronger glasses by the end of next week :)
ReplyDeleteHa - the wedding tidbit is the best part of this!
ReplyDeleteJust added you!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm soooo envious of your word count. Good for you! And your novel sounds very intriguing.
DeleteI conquered a lot of exposition in the first few days, but my daily word count has been dwindling this week...And your novel sounds fun :)
DeleteOverheard from the photographer: "maid of honour, could you please stop tapping away at the keyboard and look at the camera?"
ReplyDeleteThat sounds about right!
