Whoops, the days are slipping past. Fall foliage outside, Thanksgiving sneaking closer, and... we're grinding out words, because it is NaNoWriMo time on the writer's calendar! YAY!
Let's see. Half-way? So roughly 25,000 words in the bag? Huh...
You might be ahead of the game, with more words already put away. Don't stop! Keep going! I know, it's tempting to go back and do some revision, a little cleanup, but... finish first. Then you'll be able to turn to revision with a clear vision of the whole thing.
Not quite there? Hey, there's still 15 more days to go, and some of them are what some folks laughingly call vacation days. So, put your pencil to the paper, fingers on the keyboard, throat open for dictation, or whatever you use to create your masterpieces (Wait a minute, you have the new neural feed direct to video system? Where do I get that? You just dream and the story gets played out on your own personal video, and then all you have to do is write it down... oh, wait, I can do that. But my internal stage is just meatware, not electronic...)
So, where were we? Right, keep writing! Stop every now and then and ponder what you have learned, about your own writing, about yourself, about whatever. And then write a few more words!
Write?
