The first week of NaNoWriMo has fled, and as expected, I am well behind where I should be at this point.
Nonetheless, it has been and continues to be a really positive experience, and even though I’m behind word-count-wise, I’m enjoying letting go of the responsibility for quality words and just getting some words — any words — up on the screen.

Nonetheless, it has been and continues to be a really positive experience, and even though I’m behind word-count-wise, I’m enjoying letting go of the responsibility for quality words and just getting some words — any words — up on the screen.
It’s also a fabulous opportunity to get to know my existing characters better, and to create new characters at record speed. So far, I quite like them and they seem to be poised to fulfil their respective purposes in life effectively.
Meanwhile, I continue to write all day at work, write all evening on my novel, and write afterwards in my journal.
My eyes are getting a bit squirmy under their contact lenses with all this short-distance focusing and staring at screens, so I’ve broken out the specs for a few days and plan to get out into the great outdoors over the weekend to make sure I don’t do any damage.
