Bad rabbit. No writey for many days.
The point of this exercise is to train for NaNo--not to have a perfect score of practice days beforehand. Our difficulty in diligently writing every day is WHY we're doing this blog--messing up just proves our point that we need the practice. So blowing it for a week doesn't mean we failed the task and can now stop trying. It means we're going to have to keep pushing to get more consistent.
Or in other words . . . second verse, same as the first.
Training for Nano in November
We're Training for Nano in November!
We want to get used to sitting down and writing every day, so we came up with a plan to write every day for at least the greater of:
June- 200 words or 10 minutes
July-300 words or 10 minutes
August- September 15- 400 words or 15 minutes
September 16-October 500 words or 15 minutes
*RULE: one rest day per week and and one "bye day" that you can make up in combination with any of the other days of the week. We're busy professionals, we can't be doing this every day no matter how much we want to!

SOOOO Glad you said it too... I'm cutting myself some slack... but I really do need to finish unpacking. I just need a little balance. I'm getting there! We'll do it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Unpacking is essential work.
ReplyDeleteBesides, if we get so rigid that we force ourselves to write when our schedule makes it really inconvenient, then I think we'll get burned out before NaNo ever rolls around. Practice, not torture, is the goal.
