I Was Wrong About You, Word Wars
Boy, this NaNo stuff is really kicking my ass. I managed to catch up the other day, but now I'm just behind again. I figure I might as well just go with it and catch up over the weekend. I've been seriously slammed on the work front this week and I just have not had much time to even think about NaNo.
I'm not worried about it though. Thanks to Cheryl, a writer friend I met through NaNo last year, I have discovered the phenomenon known as "word wars". Now, I've been doing NaNo for a couple of years now, so I know what word wars are. I've just never done them before because... well... to be honest, they sounded kind of stupid, and not at all like something that would really help me.
Well, I did a few the other morning with Cheryl and a bunch of other NaNo-ites from the forums just to make Cheryl happy, and I have to say that it really did make a difference! I went from being two days behind on NaNo to being just slightly ahead in about an hour and a half. (I guess I don't realize how much time I waste dicking around when I'm just writing on my own.) It was honestly really fun, too.
I'll definitely be word warring again this weekend to get my count back up where it ought to be before I get work-slammed again. If any of my NaNo peeps from here want to word war with me this weekend, you should let me know. We'll work something out!
