Experiences
of the Day: I feel like I'm off
to a really positive start, and I've enjoyed writing in first person a
lot more than I thought I would. I feel like I've slipped into it
easily. One of the main problems I'm having is stopping myself from
going back and fixing things, or checking facts. I spent a good ten
minutes looking up cologne fragrances earlier. I need to keep in the
NaNo mindset of no editing. I'm looking forwards to tomorrow, and
making some headway on the second chapter.
How
is everyone else fairing?
LOL, I did stupid stuff like checking small details when I was doing CampNaNo in June - it's a hard habit to break! But you are off to an amazing start - congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3
DeleteI didn't the last two times I did it, but because I've been editing I can't help myself! LOL
Whoa!!!! I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
DeleteYou are doing so well! OMG.
ReplyDelete5000 words? You're awesome! I wish I could join you, I had so much fun doing NaNo last year. Good luck, I bet writing will be a breeze :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. :D I love NaNo it's such a lot of fun. Shame you can't join me, but there's always November. :D
DeleteGreat start! I'm still on zero words :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! LOL Well, there's still plenty of time. :D
Delete5,000 words!!! You're amazing girl!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :D
DeleteDid I hear right, that your soon to be published novel started life at NaNo? Very inspirational. :D
Oh wow, well done! And I was impressed with myself for doing 2100! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! 2100 is great for the first day. :D
DeleteHoly crow- 5,000 words? Rock on Clare!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I tend to write everything from first person to start. Third is the most difficult for me to write. So, sometimes, I write it all out in first, then go back and switch. So, good for you that you made that transition so easily!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jay!
DeleteI've only written a handful of stories in first, this current one is probably my third attempt. Third person is definitely my comfort zone, but for some reason this story just feels like a first person story. :D
Thanks again! :D
