Onward to NaNo
Oct. 15th, 2009 10:13 pmAlso known as the month of the fruitcake.
In one of the busiest months of the year (in my home at least) we have a challenge. 50k words in 30 days.
Break it down a bit and that comes out to roughly 1666.6666666666666 words a day for 30 days.
Now mind you I know writers who average twice that a day, every day, all year. **bats eyelashes at them** My hats off to you!
For someone out of practice (like me at the moment) it is a shock to the system.
There is all sorts of negative crap going on and on about the 'bad quality' of work. Screw that. Seriously. NaNo bashers piss me off. If they put their energy towards constructive use maybe they would be happier.
NaNo is when people who might otherwise never even attempt to get a story written can jump in with both feet and get that story down on paper. I have won NaNo. I am damn proud of that win too.
Go NaNo-ers!!!
I am going to do the Blood Oath. A fantasy invasion/romance thing.
