Week One: Trying to get motivated
We have survived the first week of Nanowrimo. How is everyone who is playing along doing with your goals? I just change mine to 15 scenes. I'm now at 4 scenes out of 15, but that involved rushing to edit today as I got little editing done throughout the week. Why?
Well, we went to my comic con (Fan expo) and though very motivating; I was asleep by the end of the day. At the fan expo, we went to three writing panels: Writing with emotion, shared storytelling, and writing a novel starter guide. I would highly encourage writers to go to events like this because they really help inspire, especially if you are feeling struck. And either way, it will make you a better writer. My take away was it is never too late to write, keep trying until you are published or publish your own work, and that shared storytelling is creating fresh stories and new communities.
Sadly, when I arrived home on the 3rd, I have a huge migraine attack from all the July 4th nonsense. It sounded like we were under siege. There was no writing/editing the 3rd-5th. There are still fireworks happening.
Anyway, I will do some vlogs on my progress and write-ins in order to keep me focused. Wish me luck and other campers let me know how you are doing.
