Hemingway is a Wuss November 1, 2003
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) has started! I'm participating this year, and just got done with my writing session for today. As I said before, the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. I sait down with trepidation this morning. I had thought about my project a lot, but wasn't sure how easily the words would come. I'm a very fast writer in general --I can bang out technical reports very quickly-- but I haven't written fiction in over 10 years. I wasn't sure how quickly the words would come.
A few hours later, I'm 4,194 words towards the 50,000 mark. They came pretty easily after all.
Of course, this is early. I'm writing scenes that I've played out in my head. I'm going to have to start slowing down to think new material out more. But it's a good start. If you're interested, I've created a section for my NaNoWriMo project. You can see my progress and even download daily updates of the novel in progress. Don't know why you'd want to do such a thing, but you're welcome to it. Any constructive feedback is always welcome.
