NaNoWriMo 2012 - Day 10

Day 10 - 20 days remaining


Successful writers are not the ones who write the
best sentences. They are the ones that keep writing.


— Bonnie Friedman

Today's word count is 16,670! And it's the beginning of our second weekend - the second of four this month. Weekend writing can be a good opportunity to catch up on your word count or pull ahead if the muse is kind! So I'll leave you to it!

Questions? Comments? Best sentence of the day? It's all good! So keep writing!

Hanging around 12k at the moment.

Stalled out. Hated the lack of direction my story suffered. Felt like I'd told the story before.

So I stopped telling it. I'm starting fresh today. I'm keeping the prose I wrote previously; I'm recycling the characters and aging them a bit, putting them in a different setting with different rules. With some tweaking I may be able to use some of it and starting at 0 on day 10 is a horrifying proposition.

I feel much better about this new direction and I think the story (and I) will benefit.
