Ready, Set, Write!

          Oops! I’ve been so focused on preparing for NaNo, I forgot to write this blog! I have no idea what to write. Oh, I’m sure I could ramble on about how overwhelmed I feel, but you don’t come here to read that. It doesn’t help you to know that this NaNo I have several unusual time-drains that will keep me away from the keyboard. It doesn’t help you to know that I essentially have only three weeks to write my 50,000 words. It doesn’t help you to know I’m worried my experiment in rewriting my out of control monster of a story will only produce yet another couple of limbs intent on strangling me. Yes, you might enjoy seeing those bits and pieces of my life, but what you really want is something you can use in your own life. And that’s what I’m here to give you.

          So what is it you need to hear today? Probably the same thing I do. Sit down and write! You heard me! Get your behind in that chair. Put your hands on at that keyboard (or wrap your fingers around that pen). Now WRITE! Stop angsting about not being sure what to say and just WRITE!

          That’s the key to getting anything done. You have to knuckle down and do. You can talk about it forever; you can plan and scheme and daydream; you can complain about having too little time. Or you can grab those tiny trickles of time and . . . (wait for it) . . . WRITE!

          That’s what I’m going to do. I hope you join me.

My NaNo Name is StephanieGayle, if you want to add me as a buddy and track my progress.
