And if NaNoWriMo didn’t kill you….
Over at The Plot Whisperer , Martha Alderson has some hope if you completed National Novel Writing Month with 50,000 words… if you’ve created 50,000 words of mush.
There are a lot of reasons people don’t sign up for NaNoWriMo. One of them is because of all of the editing involved when you’re done. Editing while you write–and going back and forth is what takes the most time in writing a novel–is easier on the brain than doing all of the writing, and then all of the editing.
It looks like Martha Alderson has some good ideas, and any help is welcome. So, assuming you can stand looking at your manuscript any time soon, she might be able to help you whip it into shape.
I’ll be checking her blog out to see what I can learn. I just won’t be touching my manuscript for at least a week. I can barely type these words.
