Quote from a fellow Bettendorf Public Library Write-in writer/participant:
You have to let yourself write badly.
That goes along with turning off your internal editor.
Well, I’ve had many good days of writing badly and last Wednesday I got my tally is up to 25,000 words. Still short by one day, but so much closer to the needed average than I was before I came to the Write-in.
Big Plus: I’m half way to 50,000 words and I get another nifty little badge for my NaNoWriMo home page.
All those little incentives do help out.
· I like watching my word count go up. · I like the daily count turn green when I reach the target number of 1667 words.· I like the upward slope of the bar graph. · I’m ecstatic if my completion date is in Nov. instead of Dec.
Wish I had those graphics available all year round. It all helps keep me going.
I’ve read a couple of pep talks all ready. I’ll get the others soon.
I’m busy writing EVERY DAY SO FAR.
