NANOWRIMO, Part II
Nov. 8th, 2004 10:46 pm…but Sara and my brain are both wondering if NANOWRIMO is taking time away from real polishing I could be doing on short stories that I’ve finished, or nearly finished, and might actually have a chance of selling.
How much do I *need* to write a fifty-thousand page novel in thirty days, and how much do I need to focus on the work that I can honestly say I have a chance of selling?
I need some input here, people. 47,500 words in 22 words is a bigassfucking time commitment. Should I be focusing some of this energy on stuff I can actually manipulate into money, like RECEIVER and COURTHOUSE HO’S?
Fuck, gimme some input, and here’s PART TWO:
( Yes, I know it's a lot, but I need you, people. Read yesterday's part and today's part. Make me feel like you still need me...*insert weeping here* )
I mean, this exercise is all well and good, but…
Oh, and with luck, benchilada.net will be up in some vague form this week. Watch that space…
