When the clock strikes midnight, it begins, NaNoers. Are you ready? Are you staying up to face the challenge head-on--your dramatic destiny?
Okay, enough of that. Who's psyched? I know I am! I'm getting ready to launch it off with style tonight with another fellow writing BFF.
I'm doing 60k again this year, and I'm determined to make this one even more successful than The Dawnwolf was--and I pray, a thousand times better than Feng Song, my last 60k project...
The Dawnwolf ended up being nearly 60k after I finished the revision. Like, just a few hundred words short. Then if I compare it to Feng Song, I am reminded that quality really does beat the pants off of quantity.
Just remember that you're writing the first draft, not the final edit. "Take your sticky fingers away from the backspace button," says the hypocritical Wolf.
Right. My excuse? I just want it to be a little less work come editing time...you shouldn't always do what Wolf does, homies.
Well, whether you're kicking it off at midnight or not, I wish you the best! T-minus 10 hours and counting...you're about to plunge into a great big challenge.
If you're a first timer or if you need help, drop a comment or shoot me an email at maryw.hills@yahoo.com.
Go get 'em!
Wolf
