Have fun, Deb! I received the file, and downloaded it. Thanks so very, very much!
'Harm's Way'
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I'm gonna play in the National Novel Writing Month thing, although I bet odds are against my coming up even coherent or finished in a month...my fics take longer and I have short stories I've been sort of writing for a year. Maybe I'm attracted to hopeless causes.
Because I told myself last year I'd do it, I'm NaNoWriMoing this year.
I figure at the very least, it will serve to get the crap out (it's basically going to be 50000 words of my worst work nightmares) so I can focus on other, more interesting, important writing projects.
I'm NaNoWriMo-ing too -- I figured, I've had an idea floating that I've researched and sketched and outlined and never actually written any of, so this might be the only thing to actually get me moving.
(And, erika, as I understand it, the point isn't so much to have something coherent and finished, but to get those words down. Coherent comes later, with NaNoEdMo....)
I am thoroughly stuck on the WIP. Maybe I should NaNoWriMo something else.
I've got no idea what I'm gonna say, especially for 50,000 words, but it never stopped anybody on talk radio, right?
Hmm. But I'm busy in November.
Wow, okay, I'll do it too then.
See how handily I started with the whining and excuse-making, before even deciding to take on such an endeavor? Now I can fail, and I already explained why! No pressure!
Liese, do it, do it! It can be crap. They tell you to read Bird by Bird and that's all about the shitty first drafts.
And we'll egg you on, cheer for you, and, um, t frantically casting around for better reasons, I want you to.
