It's the motivation, the skill, and making something resembling a novel to edit that you didn't have 30 days ago.

I have an end goal and am using every extra second I have to get this novel out of me that I haven't made time for before. These 50,000 words won't be polished, they will be messy and in need of fine tuning, but there will be 50,000 more words to work with than I had before and that, I think, is the point of this month.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455145789119274330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-33030645780136226282012-11-19T17:03:09.618-05:002012-11-19T17:03:09.618-05:00You're funny.

I have a full-time job so I need the "kick in the tush" that NaNoWriMo provides. Once I commit, I know I will meet the challenge. What I expect to get at the end is a very rough partial first draft and a severe case of tendonitis. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-90759179935816197462012-11-19T14:21:10.143-05:002012-11-19T14:21:10.143-05:00I've never done NaNo either, but it would be a...I've never done NaNo either, but it would be an interesting experiment...I think my manuscript would be riddled with holes and notes in the margins (i.e., research this later!) It would be a brutally rough draft, raised by wolves and filthy as all get-out.<br /><br />Also, 4 years for Imperfect (!!!) Wow.

Sooo interesting to get a tiny insight into the TV writing world.<br /><br />I think we all need a kick in the tush to get to writing. Deadlines are a great way to really get jump-started!
