Third time's the charm, my Aunt Frances...NaNoWriMo was exceptionally difficult this year, and I'm not thrilled with the result. Maybe I'll change my mind after letting it steep for a week. Right now, I just want to do something else with the hour and a half a day I suddenly got back. Like clean my office. And get crackin' on those Christmas presents. And having dinner with friends I haven't seen in, like, a year.But after a week off, I'm going to be really brave. For the first time ever, I'm going to take a crack at editing what spewed out of my flying fingers in the last 30 days and determine whether or not it's worth a serious set of of drafts/rewrites.
Right now, it's just an unholy mess.
Special thanks to the Boy Scout for buying me a 2009 NaNoWriMo "writing machine" shirt. I'm wearing it even as I type this. And to the sartorially elegant Vince, who was the only person at my job who wanted to do write-ins with me. Those 30-minutes-once-a-week-instead-of-lunch sessions were godsends. Vince is in the middle of editing his own draft, so we're tag teaming for the next several months and seeing what happens. Wish us luck!
