Because of NaNo I'm meeting goals and learning to trust my own process. I must truly be a pantser; my story unfolds as I write.
For instance:
Today my heroine picked up the phone and called her girlfriend, a character I didn't know. She wasn't in the outline I'd spent two days creating! I had no idea what she was going do. Before I knew it she was telling her friend everything. Then I realized that the girlfriend is going to be the heroine in the sequel.
Funny how that happens.
Since I gave up trying to hit 10,000 in a day - (sheepish grin) - that was Saturday, I've hit or exceeded my goal of 2100 per day. Today I was writing along and before I knew it I had 3100.
Good luck to everyone for the rest of the month. It's not too late to set a different goal for the last sixteen days.
Amy Ruttan's experience encouraged me. Congratulations, Amy, on turning last year's NaNo project into a deal.
