Write Drunk, Edit Sober


Hastily stolen, but found at: wineharlots.com

I think these are by far the best words of wisdom for nanowrimo. If you're not into drinking, honestly, just throw your inhibitions out the window- writing is supposed to be free. Hell, you don't actually have to show anyone what you've written, unless you want to. 

Someone (ok, ok, it was Bunny Bennett.) posted to tumblr something really awesome about letting other people look at your writings- lemmie go and find it:

"...but still…the tingling you get from someone interpreting your words..."

This struck a chord with me, because it's exactly how I feel about these things. When someone reads your work, it is a little anxiety maybe, but a lot of excitement. Almost like when someone you care about sees you nekked (that would be nude, for the purposes of doing no good,) for the first time. Its a little freaky but a lot exhilarating.

Okay then, back to the grind, still working on the outline, little bits at a time. Warming up for the Marathon known as November.
