So, I've managed to complete my word count for the day. While I'm pleased by the sheer number of words I've written, I have to say I am really not happy with the work itself. To put it simply, it's rubbish. The plot is flimsy, the characters are derivative and the setting little more than a series of white rooms in two white buildings.
What I'm trying to keep my focus on is the mere fact that I am writing. This year has been brutal and I've been at the receiving end of a lot of problems. Writing has gone by the way side recently and I seem to have stalled with my output and my acceptances. Therefore, I'm trying to remain positive about Nano, simply because it has me sitting on my butt working again and that's a good thing. No, this novel will probably never sell, but at least I'm working on it.
However, I did manage to sneak a peek at Lee's novel "Father Muerte and the Divine" this morning.
It's every bit as good as I knew it would be. So readable. So very very readable. I can't wait to read it complete.
