If I pull off my nano goal for this year it will be a miracle of muse magic. It's still doable, sort of... I think. Is it possable to pull off four consecutive days of 12-14 thousand words... twice?
anyway when I cross the deadline this year I think achieving anything would be impressive give the amount of stuff I had to deal with.
But a part of me wonders if I had actually gotten started on time where would I be? I mean shooting for 150k in what amounts to 15 days now. Imagine if we used the whole 30 days this hard and to their fullest. Could I really get 300,000 words under my belt in a month.
I'm pretty sure at some point I'd go start raving sane and have to give up my plans. That's a fairly severe level of voluntary brain damage.
I've heaard that there are professional writers that don't do anywhere near that volume, but then there are those that do more then that. The question is how much of that is scrapped and how much is used, how much is edited or rewritten vs created from scratch?
I've got to take care of my webcomic tonight, then get back to writing. Then bed (mmm that sounds good, I had trouble sleeping last night and thus got only 4hrs sleep) then wake up early to take care of the cable internet install at the apartment. Then write a bit and grocery shop before work. Then thanksgiving dinner at the Uni. Then writing then sleep and then writing and work and then writing and sleep. Then some time off from work to whole up and write almost nonstop for four days before going back to work.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
take care of yourselves,
