Anyone Got A Pooper Scooper?

DAY 8

Word Count: 3004

Sentence of the Day: The chair held his weight, his mind a thousand questions.

Though I've finished the first chapter of my future New York Times Bestseller, and my manuscript is up to 3k, I'm pretty sure each and every word is a steaming pile of manure. But I always feel like that, so no worries.

Before I toodle off to exercise my chair-cramped behind and/or throw in another load of laundry, here's a plot whisper of the day that I can sure use...one you'll want to tuck away for the days when you feel like your writing is doggy doo-doo.

"One of the greatest benefits of writing a truly awful, lousy, no good first draft is that it can only get better from there."
The Plot Whisperer, pg. 16

I love that quote! Are you doing NaNoWriMo? If so, I know you're fighting that inner-critic. Keep him in his place. ;-)

Yeah, girlie, I'm doing a modified version of NANOWRIMO. My goal is 10k instead of 50k. And you better believe my inner-critic is straining at the leash. Thanks for stopping by!
