NaNoWriMo #17: Typing Instead of Writing

Submitted by jlpowers on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 1:00am

I got stuck... way stuck in Jara's story. I've change so much of the premise and setting since I began the story that I'm not sure where it's going.

In addition, I filled the one notebook and began on the next. Except, I didn't learn my lesson last time and nothing in the notebook I just finished is typed into the computer. Which is driving me bug-nuts because I don't know what I've written so far, and I can't find this note or that note.

So, instead of writing, I spent NaNoWriMo #14 thru today typing in the stuff in the notebook. Unfortunately, I'm only about 3/4 of the way through it.

Stupid, stupid, stupid to leave it this long. I swore after I did this the last time that I wasn't going to do it again... but I did.

So, now I'm swearing it again: First thing every morning, I'm going to type in the stuff I wrote long-hand the day before.

I hope to god that I actually do it this time, so I'm not typing the whole damn notebook in one shot again.
