[…] Over the years, people have asked me how long it takes to write a particular story, article or book. When I answer, I often have to endure the usual comments about how can I write well if I do it so fast. If I’m even inclined to answer, which sometimes I’m not, I point to other writers who’ve written quickly. (Thanks to Kristen Lamb’s blog for this list.) […]

I always liked Spock better. But I love Nano!

I was at a writer’s meet-up the other day. Most of the time I had my headphones on to block out conversations, because I was busy nano-ing (I’m going for 125,000 words this month, so…) When I took my headphones off and was putting things away, I was listening to a couple of writers who had been chattering for the last half hour about the state of publishing, making a living off of writing, all of their contacts in the industry, etc. Then as I was getting ready to go, realized that neither of them had ever finished writing a book. They were having a lot of fun fantasizing about being writers, but they weren’t getting it done.

You got to get it done. Even if you are a slow-drafter, Get in your 200 or 500 words a day and advance the plot. Don’t just sit and dream over your manuscript.

Very amusing, Oh My Buddha, now you have started you just cannot stop – Phuket Writer’s Group – we have created a monster! Ha, ha,ha! xxxxxx…… However the LP( Language Police) got to me and now I am agonising over every word and ready to give up…..But no I am going back to how I was, this article has given me a wake up call and I don’t care if I have the shittiest first draft It will be done at the speed I write best at…so many thanks I am going to save this and read if I get bogged down again 🙂
