NANOWRIMO taught me a lot about my preferred approach to writing…and it doesn’t include a daily word quota. I experienced the same stress of a timed test as if I was back in school. I also tend to circle back through the previous day’s work to fix things and get me back into the story before continuing. And, when I come up with ideas or corrections while away from the story I go back and fix those before writing new scenes.
Feeling a little burnt out after the November effort. I was going to edit the “NANO” story, then decided to set it aside.
However, the one-sentence blurb for a fantasy novel sparked my own ideas for how I’d write the story. I started pulling together research material and brainstorming from 2-3 unfinished projects. We’ll see where this takes me.
