National Novel Writing Month has become a celebration of November, my least favorite month, as well as a time when I can truly push myself to create more words than I normally do. I've decided I'm a slow writer, and nowadays, I'm even slower because I've gone "old school." I'm not writing by hand the way I did in high school. Surprisingly, that has changed my writing for the better. Unfortunately, my strength as a typist (which used to be great because I'd get more words on the page -- because I type fast) is no longer helping me.
At this point, I'm up to about 32K in my latest novel (I cheated a bit: had a couple of chapters already done before the month started), and I was just interviewed by another writer about writing itself. Read the interview here:
