NaNoWriMo – Day 12
R. B. Wood
Starting Word Count: 25870
Good day of writing yesterday, but as they say ‘All good things must come to an end.” Back to work today, but I wanted to share one of my difficulties with NaNo–I’m a self-editor. I admit it.
Nano is only successful when you plow throw the word count (okay only successful for ME I guess)–like the old Henry Ford Assembly line–“Keep it moving and we’ll fix it at the end.” I have a habit of correcting as I go which takes me out of the flow of the scene I see playing in my head like a movie–can be frustrating at times.
Which is why I’ve liked to do NanNo every year since I discovered it existed. The challenge is there to meet a certain word count while working full time and having the normal responsibilities of adulthood to attend to. I HAVE to continue to write without looking back to win. And I’m just competitive enough so that works for me.
Now that I have hit the half way mark, I know I’ve got this year’s win in the bag.
By The Way- Comments are finally fixed. I find them sexy, please leave one. 🙂
