NaNoWriMo #2: ~1600 words

Posted in

I sat down to write last night with no real idea what was happening next and no real hope of getting any words, and ended up with a nice little scene and my 1600 words for the day.

So NaNoWriMo total: 4100  Book total: 14,400

The big thing I did last night that I've never done before when writing a first draft is: skip a really big part of the scene, summarizing it down into a couple sentences.

I did this because I don't have a clue where this story is going, and yeah I could have done that scene and put all the stupid details in, but if I don't know what's going to be happening over the rest of the book, that really doesn't make much sense.

Gee!  I think I'm finally getting the hang of this rough-draft idea.  :-)

And I officially signed up on NaNoWriMo today.  Userid: jackiepowers
