The Bandwagon: Comparing Experiences

Comparing Experiences

undefined undefined

Last night when I got home, I was too tired to write. The program went well--when all the kids sang "Proud to be an American," there wasn't a dry eye. They put a lot of emotion into it, and it was beautiful. Got home after seven and decided to see how I managed NaNoWriMo in years past.

Every November has been just as nuts as this. Last year I had more red days than green days, but I had two GREAT days--7,000 words and 8,000 words, both the week of Thanksgiving. The first year, I started big and slowed down later in the story. The second year was pulling teeth. The third year I discovered Write or Die, and that gave me some big days, so I think I'll give that a go this weekend for a boost.

I'm afraid I need to tweak my hero--he's not as fun as I'd hoped, too tense. And I'm not sure I have enough plot. We'll see.
