writing
I've discovered the most difficult aspect of my NaNoWriMo journey: editing. I usually write every story by hand, page one to the end, and then, when it's completely finished, I type it up. That way I can edit as I type. I always tend to edit as I'm writing because I'll have an idea in the shower for something I need to change back on page 15, when I'm actually on page 87. It's usually not a big deal, but with NaNoWriMo, I don't have the luxury of time. So instead of constantly going back and making changes, I just have to plow on, writing notes for myself to go back and fix things once December rolls around.
I'm also forgoing the notebook draft for this one. Transferring handwritten pages to type is incredibly time-consuming, and as I said before, time is not something I have in this situation. It's also easier to keep track of word count when I type everything from the beginning. What problems are the rest of you running into during this lovely month of writing? Today's Word Count: 971 Total Word Count: 2086 Today's Page Count: 5 Total Page Count: 11 Favorite Line from Today (taken completely out of context): Under the bleachers wasn't the most ideal place to wait for someone, and if he was being honest with himself, he found it more than a little cliche, but he wanted the privacy they guaranteed.
