Practicing for Nanowrimo

[elingregory]

After shilly-shallying around and making a load of rough notes, I bit the bullet this morning and started my new story, Eleventh Hour. Because it's not that long 'til Nanowrimo starts I thought I'd get into practice and I've decided to post regular word counts to invite derision if I fail to keep up with it.

So here we go! Between finishing breakfast and leaving for work this morning:



Not a lot but a lot better than nothing.

There's not enough of it yet to post a snippet. Later in the week perhaps.

Good luck with it!

I've never really got into Nanowrimo... and it won't happen this year due to moving... Although I could do with something to give me a kick up the arse to start working on some of my stories ;)

Nano certainly applies the boot to the seat of the pants! The other thing that I find useful is www.writeordie.com which makes you keep typing, even if slowly, for as long as you have said you will type or until you reach the stated word count.

Also having readers saying "come on, i want the next instalment" is brilliant, but they are very hard to come by.
