It is almost here… NANOWRIMO – http://wp.me/p5VuTN-6u
Old writing buddy and ‘friend of the program’ Reggie Lutz shares some sage words. She’s on-point as usual, so do yourself a favor and have a read of her post regarding NaNoWriMo.
Here’s an excerpt:
One of the most important things around fiction writing is learning how to finish work that you start. This is a road toward a complete first draft. While the word count requirement to win NanoWrimo is not, strictly speaking, book length, it is enough word count to determine, at the end of it all, whether your story idea will work once you’ve polished it.
Whether or not you have something workable at the end of it, you will have learned whether the kamikaze approach to writing 1,700 words a day works for you. That’s not nothing. if you are a person who has already started and finished long work then maybe the challenge for you is producing content at a relatively blistering pace. Doing this can teach you how to work with deadlines and how you, as an individual writer, work under pressure.
