I'm a Winner!


Yay, my NaNoWriMo 50K words were validated and I got my winner's certificate and badge.

Now I'm trying to re-invoke my inner editor (which I abandoned during NaNo) as I return to the re-write of my 'work in progress'. I'm leaving the NaNo novel for a while, until I've completed the WIP.  Returning to it later, hopefully with fresh eyes, will either reinspire me or make me cringe at the sloppy sprint write style I used.

Meantime, at lunch with a friend yesterday, she gave me another idea for a novel.

So many ideas, and not enough time to write them all!

    Thanks, Sarah. The revision/rewrite proces is going to take a lot longer than a month though!

    Well done Paula :-) And what a good feeling to have rediscovered an old friend and breathed new life into it. Thanks for your take on turning off the inner editor (in one of your earlier posts) - I've forced myself to try it with a couple of short stories lately and have really enjoyed not pondering every word as I go along!
    All best

    Excellent, Paula! I'm sure that will soon be added to your published list.

    Hi Karla - turning off the inner editor was a new experience for me too. But I shall be back to pondering about words when I do the re-write!

    Thanks, Rosemary - but it's going to take some time before it even approaches publishable standard!
