So...we're a week into NaNo now. How's everyone doing so far? I've been writing pretty much nonstop lately so I'm taking today off.
1) How are you keeping motivated?
I've been talking to a lot of people on Twitter. It's great to have that kind of encouragement. LOL, I don't know if I should admit this, but I also keep checking everyone's word counts. When I see where people are at with their stories, it spurs me on to write more.
2) How about a challenge?
I've done a couple of challenges on Twitter. They're great motivators. The first time I challenged Ecklecktick to write 2,000 words in 2 hrs. I think we both ended up writing full chapters that night. My second challenge was to reach 20,000 words by the end of the weekend. I fell just short of that goal, but I wrote almost 4,000 words in one day. So, what if all of us do a challenge together? I think it really helps knowing that others are suffering--err, writing--at the the same time. ;)
Challenge: Let's try to write 3,000 words in four hours this Thursday starting at 7 PM (I'm on EST). Anyone want to accept this challenge? We can check in with each other on Twitter.
Now, onto a different subject...
3) What genre are you writing?
I'm doing young adult/fantasy. (Side note: Is swearing acceptable in YA stories if your target audience is 16 and older?)
4) If you want to be writing buddies and/or tweet:
My NaNo Account
My Twitter Account (My account is set to private, but I'll accept you.)
5) What's your current word count?
Now, it's your turn!
