NaNoWriMo
I've never done it but it seems like it might be the kick in the butt I need, so I'm going to do the NaNoWriMo on 'If Not for You' this month.
Today is my first day. The book is 62,638 words currently, and I don't expect to publish more than 90,000 but if you knew my process you would weep for me. This is the point in my novels where I start savagely brutalizing my story. Cutting out characters, scenes, chapters. For every word I write, I delete at least another word somewhere else. So. If I can write 50,000 and delete 20,000 I should be doing well.
I'll blog about the journey. It will probably be boring. Day after day of: wrote 1200, deleted 1200, but I am going to finish this book and I'm going to be happy with it when it's done!
