Is your November half full or half empty?
Dear Fellow Wrimos,
The half-way mark!!!
Does it feel good or depressing?
I guess that depends on how we’ve done so far. If you’re way ahead in the word count, it probably feels good. You’ve been on a roll and it shows. If you’re behind, it feels as if you might never catch up and two more weeks may not seem like enough time. If you’re like me and just hit the 25,000 mark, it feels FINE…but there are no fireworks. It just means two more weeks of hard core writing!
But I think how we’ve done so far is a bad predictor of how the rest of the month will go.
For me, Nano this year seems to turn on a dime. Yesterday was hard; today was a joy. In the same way, a free-for-all beginning that is fun to write, may not be so much fun as the plot thickens. And being way behind can be the biggest motivator of all. Nothing like a looming deadline to get us going.
Either way, whatever our word count now, and however it turns out, we can be proud and satisfied to have written a great deal more than most people do in a year (or more).
Mine is definitely half full.
Onward,
Nanc

I have only written 80 some words…but have a lot of the story idea mapped out. I know that tomorrow I am planning on getting a lot more writing done. It has been fun.
bbutterfly ~ yay! for all of the above: that you’ve gone a long way to planning it out, that you’re eager to get it down and that you’re having fun. that’s a great combination. thank you so much for dropping by!
