Last night as I was lying in bed, I realized I painted myself into a corner with the words I wrote over the weekend. As such, I committed the cardinal sin of NaNoWriMo and went back through the first few chapters, fixing a sticky point and giving myself a new path to walk down.
I'm back on track now. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I wrote new words, I'm reaching about an hour's worth before my hands go numb. Bleh. I'll be in fighting form as soon as I get used to writing again. I'm still behind, but after checking last year's numbers, I'm not worried.
November 2009 - 45000 words, half of which were written in the last ten days. I guess I just work well as a crammer. Lord knows that's how I passed half my college classes. LOL
How are things going in your world? Are you a crammer or do you prefer to be prepared throughout the process?
I'm still cruising along with my outline, but I admit, I do go back and tweak things if I think up improvements. I'd rather have a clean(ish) NaNo novel than a fast one.
ReplyDeleteI'm still outlining too right now. Hooray for being back on track!
ReplyDeleteI am totally a crammer... I work best under pressure. I wish I wasn't that way, but I've come to own it about myself. Good luck with NaNo!
