My Discovery story feels really big and intimidating in my mind, and I'm just worried that I'll get 10 pages in and then wimp out and quit.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142090423235200822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-83704396032253632252010-10-12T09:52:18.626-05:002010-10-12T09:52:18.626-05:00If the one in discovery is too big and scary, do s...If the one in discovery is too big and scary, do something fun.

And I think the key to doing this is to deep six the notion that if you don't have it "wrapped up" by November 30th, you've failed. Not so, ma chere. To win NaNo, you need 50,000 words by November 30th. You DO NOT need to have typed "The End." I have no intention of finishing my NaNo novel by 11/30, but I plan on having a good, 50,000 word jump on it. Do the work that calls to you. You don't have to finish it in 30 days.Deliahttp://procrastinationrehabilitation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-62173158674245765322010-10-12T08:06:47.046-05:002010-10-12T08:06:47.046-05:00I was going to vote for sharing - but you're r...I was going to vote for sharing - but you're right, you should check into whether blogging counts against your being able to publish.

That may count as publishing, which could kill my chances of placing them with a publisher. I'll do a little research. <br /><br />As the month goes on I'll definitely post updates with how things are going. Number of stories written, total word count, titles if I have them, that sort of thing. <br /><br />I'm going to start a file with ideas so I'm not starting from scratch every couple of days. I have two ideas already, and I'd like to have 15 or 20, just for a safety net.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142090423235200822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-88978366207532713032010-10-12T00:24:46.381-05:002010-10-12T00:24:46.381-05:00I'd combine the second and third (pure self-in...I'd combine the second and third (pure self-interest here)-- write the sexy shorts and blog them so we can read along!PrivateBettyhttp://abhthree.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-36830924420015994882010-10-12T00:19:38.507-05:002010-10-12T00:19:38.507-05:00On Bona Fide's recommendation I just read Step...On Bona Fide's recommendation I just read Stephen King's book about writing (it was as good as you said it would be Kelly, thanks). He says that the best way to learn is to do it. Applying his theory, writing all those shorts would do the trick. Ha ha, trick, there ya go, one idea, incorporate some kind of fun trick into one of them.<br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-73038822902184030612010-10-11T23:44:06.279-05:002010-10-11T23:44:06.279-05:00Well, the sexy stories sound like fun, and the Bet...Well, the sexy stories sound like fun, and the Betties will probably be happy to give you more than enough raunchy ideas for inspiration.
