Day 8 - 22 days remaining


One thing that helps is to give myself permission to write badly.

— Lawrence Block






Today's word count is 13,336! And we're staring down the infamous Week Two of the NNWM Challenge. But we're not going to let that stop us or even slow us down, right Nano Writers?! We've got stories to tell and out antagonists are in the thick of it now, fumbling and flailing, trying to figure out what to do next now that they've left the comfort of their everyday world.

It's kind of scary. It might seem that what we write is doomed to fail. Just like our characters are convinced that after a couple of bad turns, they can't do it after all. But we need to show them how by not giving up even when things look bad - that's the time you need to remind yourself of the prize that lies ahead and keep moving forward!

Questions? Comments? First word/last word you wrote today? It's all good - so keep writing!

A lovely word count! And yes, we need to do terrible things so that our characters can learn their lessons and get the chance to demonstrate their goodness.

Oh - bodies! Found in an out-of-the-way place. Cool! Sounds like the game's afoot! Not to say that someone found a foot...
