Then, it came to me. I called my friend Lisa. "Guess what I'm doing in a kind of NaNoWriMo?" Then I told her about my story that I needed to get into Word.
Lisa said, "I'm doing something similar."
Wow, great minds and all, you know.
Lisa laughed. "We'll call it NaNoWriLite."
Yes, I like that.
So far the project is working. I've marked the page count of each day on my calender. I'm behind five pages of SEASON OF THE FAWNS, but I can catch up.
Until next time . . . write, write, write, NaNoWriMo.
Jean, this is a great workaround for real life.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother's mantra was, "bit by bit," which ties in with how you're fitting writing into a busy life. It's amazing how much really can get done by chugging away at a project regularly, even if it is done bit by bit!
Yes, Siri, your grandmother was smart! If I've learned anything about the struggles with writing, it's that to do only a little is better than to quit.
ReplyDeleteTerry, our mutual friend, said that to me once about taking a story and editing it a little bit at a time.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
