Who needs November?
For the past two years I’ve adored National Novel Writers Month in November. Adored it and been too busy with finals to do anything productive in the 31 days worth mentioning. My rough rough draft sits unloved on my computer daily as I add a measly few hundred words whenever I get inspired, meanwhile aspiring writers churn out entire drafts in a few weeks time. This particular manuscript has me so tied up in knots that I spend more time worrying about it not being good than actually making sure it is. Before going through months of revision hell I have to get the thing on paper. So by May 1st come hell, high water, or writer’s block this thing will be out of my head. I’ll have plenty of time to make it understandable to actual human beings later.
