GRAPEMO 2011: DAY #1

Feb 01, 2011 10:16

Welcome to GRAPEMO 2011! I see a lot of faces from last year, and a few new ones besides. I'm already geared up, sitting at Borders with my lap top, guzzling coffee (I notice some grounds floating in my cup, but I'm not complaining) and preparing to give myself a good kick in the butt.

Not before i post something, of course.

I didn't know it, but I've always written the NaNo Way. I turn on the music, shut my eyes, and listen for the characters to start speaking. The next morning I'll come back to see what they got up to.

Enjoy the coffee, and the words. I finished collating my research and did my first chapter this morning. 4108 words into a completely different story. It's amazing.

Thank you.

I like to write my first draft always like Nano, let myself flow with what the characters want to say.

I've always been a firm believer that you have to write the "bad words" before you can uncover the good ones. Even though I'm more of an edit-as-you-go person, if I'm stuck on a scene and can't figure out how to fix it, I continue on with the next scene anyway, knowing I'll have that light-bulb moment for the other one eventually!
