Greetings from NaNoWriMo - Surviving the first week successfully
Well, here we all are, for better or for worse, attempting to complete Day 3 of National Novel Writing Month . If you are on schedule, you've got no less than 5,001 words completed, and you've even dug into tomorrow's word count quota. Or more. It you aren't on schedule, no doubt you are gnashing your teeth, pulling your hair, and have even thrown in the towel already. (Or at least threatened to.) Here's a thought: Don't. Quit. Don't. Give. Up. Wanna know a secret? I didn't write a single word for my NaNoWriMo project on November 1st. That's right. I didn't. I meant to, but life got in the way. I had to work. I had to drive the two hours home from my mother's house. I had school work to do. Wanna know another secret? I still didn't have any idea what I was going to write for NaNoWriMo this year, even when I sat down to write my two day quota yesterday. As a matter of fact, I didn't actually sign up for NaNoWriM...
