In all fairness, I shouldn't call it "doom", I just have a love-hate relationship with deadlines. I pretend they're far further off than they are... they stress the hell out of me... but in the end, I need them. As if there's a lasso pulling my foot and my productivity towards completion.
Which is why I need National Novel Writing Month. I really do love to write, it has always been my dream to publish books. If not for deadlines I get complacent with the idea that I really can finish any time, I don't need to look at that project, or those notes now. So, thanks to Nano, I will write a novel this November. (I Will, I will...)
If any of you crazy awesome people are doing this as well, let me know! I'd love to hear your ideas, and once November starts, your progress.
Woo!
Have you done NaNo before? I haven't. Going to be interesting, since I work full time...
ReplyDeleteI did it last year, and was working full time! I did things like write during lunch hour, on bus rides, and during that hour or so before bed when I'm usually just browsing the interwebs. I didn't 'win' but I think I could have! It's surprising how much builds up when you write for just 10 minutes here and there.
