Not that anybody cares, but...
Saturday, 1 November 2008 19:06I stayed up until mid-night to start NaNo. I surprised myself by surpassing the daily word goal by about a hundred words before I'd realized it. It really wasn't that much when I was done, although it took me about an hour and a half to get done.
So far today I've added almost a thousand more words.
I only accomplished this by holding my inner editor back with a very sharp carving knife. You know, the two pronged thing with a wooden handle. I've officially given myself permission to suck. I won't go back and delete anything, only add or rearrange, if I feel it absolutely has to be done.
So, yes, this novel will probably be full of entire pages that have to be butchered or removed or totally rewritten later on, but that's for later. Right now it's time to just get it done. By the end of November I will have my first ever novel on my hands or most of it anyway, and that will be one of my greatest accomplishments ever.
