Camp NaNoWriMo August 2011 - Day 2

Day 2 - 29 days remaining



A word is a bud attempting to become a twig.
How can one not dream while writing?
It is the pen which dreams.
The blank page gives the right to dream.

- 
Gaston Bachelard

So the hard part is behind us, right? We've conquered the "blank page" and have forged bravely ahead, planting the seeds of our hero's story to see what blooms in the weeks ahead. And don't worry if you think that you're only going to get weeds. Even the dandelion has its uses, its own charms. So write on Nano Writer! Write on!

The word count today is 3,225 but remember it's still really just 538 words three times over the day, a handful of words, barely enough to describe what your character's wearing or what he or she's doing standing at the kitchen sink holding that bloody knife...

Questions, excerpts to share, recipes for dandelion wine? It's all good! Keep writing, Nano Writer!

Great job hitting your goal! And three cheers for taking on a new writing adventure! You'll do great! Your muse and characters won't let you down but if you need any help just give a holler - lots of smart people lurk around here.

I'm also fond of asking my characters "why" when I'm stuck and then find I'm quite busy typing up their answers...
