Everything I've churned out has been totally stinky, but I'm choosing to ignore it, because I won't get anything done otherwise. Can anyone relate? :P I'm in the midst of college classes, so that's...difficult. To say the least. I carve out an hour and a half in the morning and write like a madwoman. My rate is approximately 300 words per 10 minutes. So in 90 minutes, if I'm focused. I can get my daily word goal out. That's worked, mostly so far. Always fall a bit short, like maybe 400 or 500 words, but if I dedicate a couple of minutes in the evening, right before I go to bed (which is when my brain is the most creative) I can get it done. And Thursday and Sunday evenings our writer's group meets and eats snacks, drinks tea and writes. That always puts me ahead a bit for when I'm feeling uninspired. <br /><br />On the midnight of November 1st, me and my sister's got up and I got nearly 3,000 words in. That was fun. :)<br /><br />This is my first year doing the adult program, and I've never written 50k in a month, so we'll see how this goes. :) Good luck to everyone doing NaNo!
