Day 3 of NaNoWriMo 09
The first days were pretty okay. Today is the first day where I dropped out of discipline/workflow. What is the best approach to this, I believe, is to sit down. And just write. What helps me with that is a very wide understanding of how my story is going to develop itself. I thought my story line would be too thin, but to describe wht I want, I actually need far more words than I initially thought. Maybe I have to many introspective - but hey, editing is for december. so for now I am going to stick with what I write in the flow. And in a few weeks I will see if it makes sense.
A very good tip is to use Write or Die, an online editor which nags you if you don't keep up with a certain writing speed. Its really hard to loose yourself in your own thought and your fears of probably getting to easy-writing or cheesy, if the consequence will be awful sounds. It also exists as an Adobe Air-based desktop app.
Right now I am really looking forward to killing my main character. And a few bureaucrats in the tax office, and maybe also some cry-baby drunk sexists. Yay, writing rocks. But the real fun will begin when I get to the SciFi parts of my story.
