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.
I'm so embarrassed. I already feel I have nothing to say, but I'm committing myself to a long nothing.
Erika, you've got it in you. You couldn't write those amazing fics if you didn't.
I'm going to have a go. No idea what I'll write, but there can't be any harm in trying.
