I went into NaNoWriMo in the first place ...Figures. I went into NaNoWriMo in the first place on impulse. I could have gotten the research and other stuff done in advance.<br /><br />Oh well. I now have four chapters when I once had just a prologue, although I'm going to need to severely revised Chapter Three for realism purposes.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691270309993277160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000895280655907241.post-86533972809008119402012-12-04T00:39:09.839-05:002012-12-04T00:39:09.839-05:00The damned internets caught you!
They don't ...The damned internets caught you! <br /><br />They don't call it the World Wide Waste-of-time for nothing.<br /><br />NANO will only work if you just put your head down and write straight through, no research, no fact checking, no second guessing. All of that can be saved for December. <br /><br />Actually for me and a lot of writers, this is the way to make it through first drafts of any kind, NANO or not. Head down, make words. <br />You rely on all the reading you have done before to get you through and then you can go in and add the details.<br /><br />You'll get 'em next time.James R.
