NaNoWriMo–Let the Writing Begin
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
My rough draft is done. However, my word count is a bit low. After checking several sites for advice, my 53,000+ word mystery should be more like 80,000. That puts me at about 27,000 words shy of a general goal.
I decided to use National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) as my motivation to write. There’s lots of support here from other writers who know and understand. There’s also the energy. If anything can get you motivated, it is the energy of a whole lot of motivated writers, with a similar goal. That’s important. In any creative field, self-esteem can be an issue. How many other professions can you think of where rejection is a common occurrence? A writer’s greatest asset is her thick skin.
So, here I go. I’m committing myself to joining the ranks. I’m going to finish this sucker and get it published.
