I had a great writing day today. I didn't feel like working on the same short story I've been focusing on, so I glanced through my other stories in progress. I found a story I worked on ages ago, and it was mostly complete. Adding in the missing pieces easily ate up my quota for the day.
I can just hear you wondering (ChiHeather) how this will help with NaNo, since NaNo requires us to sustain our word count on one project. But I think it can't hurt to start by simply trying to make it a habit to sit down to write every day. Besides, we don't want to get so strict that we're burned out by the time NaNo rolls around. That's what I'll claim if anybody asks anyway.
Till tomorrow.
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!
