NaNoWriMo Day 1 - May God Help Us All

in writing •  7 years ago 

2,500 words a day...that sounds so intense. I mean, what do you do about writer’s block, or when you realize that nothing makes sense and the previous 1,500 words just changed the direction of your story, or when you need to edit? Plus there’s also scheduling time to write around every other thing on the agenda. NaNoWriMo is such a daunting undertaking to me, which is why in the three or four times I’ve attempted this, I’ve never finished it. Lol. But...I guess there’s always the first time?

The answer to all of those what if wording is: you keep writing anyway. What you discover is that the piece ends up coming together surprisingly well. Also, you learn not to take your writing so seriously. Each piece is merely practice for the next piece. The first essential skill, therefore, is to be able to finish pieces you start.

That’s solid advice. I’ve never thought of being able to finish what you start as a skill, but it is, in a sense. Good stuff, jenkinrocket!
