Day 15
Well it's offically week 3. Wow. I'm behind. But I'm not undaunted. YET :)
Chris Baty from NaNoWriMo sends out weekly pep talks and I have to say that one section is what keeps me going:
The more you write, the more inspired you're going to feel. If you're feeling pokey now, it's because you're not writing enough. Push yourself to write every day, and make a point of adding something to your word count any time you're within striking distance of a keyboard. Harness the power of micro-sessions. If you're far behind, stop figuring out where you're supposed to be each day. Instead, just dive into your story and write until you've rolled the word counter up by a thousand. Then take a twenty-minute break, and go after another thousand. Don't worry about getting caught up - that'll take care of itself. Just keep rolling those thousands.
JUST KEEP ROLLING THE THOUSANDS. It's good. With that in mind I wrote for a while this morning. Had a bit of an Abby interuption and then wrote some more. Now if I could just convince the housework to do itself I'd be free with more time to write.
Word Count: 10987
