So... how's it going? I've been lagging behind in my NaNoWriMo Novel, and have decided to do a mad dash to the finish line. Sorry Year 7 French student, reports may not get written this year, pets - no walkies, kids - feed yourselves, bills - the cheque will be in the mail next week, Tim - do I 'look' like I'm in the mood? (Okay, maybe the French reports still have to go out, but the rest can wait)
This week is for words, words and then some words. Fail is not an option. Of course, I wouldn't feel like I failed, even if I stopped now - I'd have almost 30,000 words for my supernatural thriller. My biggest problem, if this novel doesn't have the words 'The End' typed by the finish of NaNoWriMo, is Dec 1. Come that unofficial date, I know my brain will go into a self-induced coma and refuse to budge.
It's going to be a big week for my protagonist Dusty, she now knows who the killer is but has to discover his secret stash of drugs he intended smuggling, locate another dead body, save the remaining coworkers from certain death, convince the good guy she's worth a go and learn the killer had a partner.
Do you work better under pressure?
Good luck with your mad dash tot he finish line. I'm on target, but I'm feeling the pressure.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with nano! I'm moving along pretty steadily, but I'm worried about the next bit too! Crossing my fingers for us!
ReplyDeleteWishing you speedy fingers!
ReplyDeleteThe moment I found out I had to fly back to the UK to nurse my mother, I couldn't stop writing. So I appear to work better under pressure, as I have crossed the finishing line! :)
I'm at 40K and my sleuth is still on the wrong track! Things are about to get ugly! Go go go! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to writing, I cannot work under pressure very well. I set for myself a deadline of the end of November to be finished with revisions and I'm not quite halfway done. Schedules are the enemy... :P
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you though!
I'm not doing Nano, but will do that in the future. I've always wanted to try it.
ReplyDeleteI work well under pressure, but I prefer starting and finishing things ahead of time.
The most important thing is that you're having fun w/ your story. Wishing you all the best! :)
ReplyDeleteCharmaine,
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know--did you meet your goal? I sure hope you did!!!
I generally do work better under pressure, but I hate to admit that I have so much experience doing so. lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Sounds like a successful NaNo to me!
