Are you up to the 50k-word marathon challenge that starts on Nov.1 aka NaNoWriMo?
The NaNoWriMo special panelists suggest just keep on writing without any interruptions even if you hit the proverbial wall. Make November your writing month.
"This is my writing month," author Jean Davis said.
Davis will be participating in the 18th year of the challenge.
That sentence resonated with all the panelists because as Jane Smiley said,
"Every first draft is perfect because all the first draft has to do is exist. It's perfect in its existence. The only way it could be imperfect would be to NOT exist."
Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't punish yourself, and have fun. Enjoy the camaraderie.
"I try to keep the momentum going," author John Winkelman said.
The panelists are authors- Vera West, Emma Palova, Jean Davis, John Winkelman, Andrew Smith, and Ed Bentley.
Listen in for a chance to win some free E books, and mainly to win the challenge.
