My NaNoWriMo 11/18/2010 9:03:53 PM
After 19 days of writing and not writing, I have learned a lot about myself and my writing habits.
Writing on demand does get a word count down, but does not help creativity.
Just writing to write even when the story hits a wall does not always remove that wall.
Creating a need to write does not take the place of loving to write.
I enjoy the creativity that paces my writing and records my ideas.
I enjoy the time I spend processing my writing in my head.
I enjoy living what I am writing.
I don't write because I have to write.
I write because I love to write.
There are 12 days left in NaNoWriMo. I am behind in my word count, and I'm not sure whether I will be able to catch up. I am not giving up though and will continue to put words down.
My story of King Tut has tripled in size from the outline I started with. Whether I finish it this month won't be evident until Nov. 30. Here's to a determined try!!!
I also want to thank my supporters. We have raised $230 of my goal of $250! It's nice to know that young writers will be benefiting from your generosity.
