2006 NaNoWriMo Update - Top Priority
Here’s the thing. And it’s the same thing that bogged me down last year. I spend way too much time tweaking, massaging, improving and otherwise editing what I’ve already written, rather than just writing the story, then coming back later to fix things up, and otherwise edit.
Here’s your task: keep me hoppin’. I’m a little bummed on this, so you be my Jacob Marley (and three spirits). Text, email or comment me to remind that, as in all things, time is short, life is shorter, 2006 was over a long time ago, and I’m on the downhill slide to who gets to pawn my bed-hangings and candlesticks. It’s all up to you now. And me. More me than you, really, I suppose. You’re like maybe 30%, 35 at best. But 30% of a success is certainly better than 30% of something less succcesful, isn’t it? So you hang in there. I’m counting on that 30%. Maybe 35.
(I suppose you could be my Clarence, too. But that’s a whole ‘nother life.)
And y’all keep wishing me luck, now, just like y’all have been! If you do, I promise I’ll stick my head out the window on November 30 at midnight to shout “You there, boy, what day is this?!”
