Word Count: 0
Sentence of the Day:
As you can see, the count of shame is still at zero. I've got my first book all mapped out and ready to write but I'm forcing myself, no matter the shame, to wait to start writing it until I've mapped out the other 2. So my goal for today is to get one of those done. Can I do that all in 1 day? Beats me.
Never fear though. If you listen real hard, I'll murmur yet another tidbit from The Plot Whisperer...
"You have written some fine prose. You feel good about your characters. The exotic world is unique and the dramatic action exciting. Now it is time to explore what your story is saying.
When it comes to understanding the thematic significance of your story, be patient and allow the deeper meaning of your story to evolve naturally from the story itself. Every day, stand back from your plot planner and concentrate on the whole story."
The Plot Whisperer by Martha Alderson
pg. 59

You're making me salivate for yet another writing book. How dare you. ;-)
Oh, this one is worth it's weight in gold my dear. Quit your drooling and go buy it.
Michelle, your word count of 0 is not a count of shame, but of honor. Everyone knows you're supposed to wait for the last tick of halloween before beginning NaNoWriMo.
Whew. Glad I'm not a day late and a dollar short, Teresa. But I just might be on Nov. 1st. We'll see...
