NaNoWriMo is Just the Beginning
Originally published at Geek Guide to Life. Please leave any comments there.
I slid by 50K yesterday, so I am an official winner. The novel isn't done yet, though. I'm happy about that, because the novels I like to read are considerably longer, so I hope to write something along the same lines.
So, my next goal is to get to 90,000 words by the end ( Read more... ) -

Worst and Worster
I recently made the mistake of downloading and reading the new teenage mega blockbuster novel by James Patterson (coming out in December.) Actually, I did more than read it. I broke it up and analyzed it as a Novel Writing exercise. It made me feel SO much better about my writing because, A) I've written more words than are in that novel. and B) I ( Read more... ) -

Otherwise, it's like taking pills because they are good for you ( Read more... )
