Essence of insanity
I have found the truth behind insanity. I blame it entirely on one thing. National Novel Writing Month. Just writing it makes me want to break down crying. I don't think it is physically possible to write 50,000 words in a month. For real. I want to shank something, preferably the pile of steaming crap I have spewed into a word document for the last ten days. By the time November ends I think I may well be dead.

Dude. You don't need a ready-to-send-to-the-publisher copy by the end of November, you just need 50,000 words that semi-go together. So. Keep writing, keep studying, and edit like a mad women from December till May =]

ReplyDeleteEven if what you read seems like crap, the gist behind all the steamy pile is actually a really good story.
I read on the website somewhere that it's okay to suck and what you have at the end of November is basically a 50,000 word detailed outline.
I'm less than satisfied with what I've written, but I comfort myself with the idea that it's okay to have horrid writing as long as the word count is 50,000. :D
