And so it begins... ... I thought I had this under control. After all, for the first time, I had a title, a plan, and a synopsis, and was ready to go. I've never tried to write a novel this way before. Of course, it was originally a NANOWRIMO project, and to write 50,000 words in a month you need a plan. Ad-hoc writing just doesn't get it done. Even though for the previous two years, it has. So, I start writing. Then, damn it, I get another idea, and off I go on that tangent. The plan's now looking like it needs an update. Didn't plan for that, did I? Oh, well, day 1 down, 29 more to go, perhaps tomorrow will be better. Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
