Getting Ready For NANO

National Writers' Month

Website

This is where  across the country and maybe even the world, where writers, attempt to write 50.000 words in the month of November.

I have never done this before.  I am going to attempt it this year.

50,000 words break down to 1.675 words a day.

I think that is doable for anyone.  If nothing else, just write until you reach the word goal.

I am going to shoot for 2,000 words a day.  I am just rounding it up and be easier for me to keep track of my word count.

I have done a few things to get ready.

1.  I know the story I want to write.

2.  I know the view point and the characters. (I already have character charts and settings and time line done.)

3.  I have a file created.  Looks like this:

Chapter 1

Lizzy

Travis

Bobby

Mandy

Chapter 2

Lizzy

Travis

Bobby

Mandy

In this book I will have 4 different viewpoints so each chapter will have 4 viewpoints, which is not a typical romance novel format.  But I am going to do something different.  This will be book 3 in my series and I need all their viewpoints to make the story work.

So on day if I just want to write about Bobby, I can just go to his name and write his viewpoint. I can jump around and write the end if I want and then go to midpoint, or whatever.  The point is to write everyday at least 1.175 words.

What are you doing to prepare for next month????

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
