A Little Bit of Something,
Dad says, is better than a whole lot of nothing.
I have a deadline looming for the end of the month and it has nothing to do with NaNo. However, I need to work on bones for NaNo so that I can write and not just ramble on Nov. 1.
So I have decided today--and we'll see how long this lasts--that I need to show up here and write as often as I can. Original stuff. Prompt related or not.
I've had good things come from here. If you remember my short little blog write about the boxer with the sick daughter he's visiting in the hospital--that one turned into a full-fledged short story, and it got great feedback in the last contest I entered it. Is there novel-length material there? Hmmm.
Or is there novel length material waiting in some prompt I haven't even seen yet. Ten minutes a day isn't going to stall out the revision project either. In fact, it might just make things smoother all the way around.
Show up. Be calm. Write. The rest will come. Trust the process. It's worked before.

:^) Aww, but that crazy little thing called Life... lol Even though it's still all in messy longhand, I did manage to jot some rough notes about angles and reactions and who does what, how, and why they do it... my characters are showing me things now and then -- finally! My brain still tells me it would be a thousand times easier if my heroine didn't remain permanently blind, but my character tells me that's what happens, so... :^) Off to dreamland... ~S
