NaNoWriMo Week 2
I absolutely loathe Week 2 of NaNoWriMo. All the advice says to push through it, and so push through I shall endeavor to do.
At this point in the month I’m clueless: I have no idea where I’m going with the plot and with the characters ensconced in the plot. One thing I should probably do is step back and say, “Okay, I’ve come this far, where does this go next?” I know by this time next week I’ll feel a lot better about things and say to myself, “Now was that freak out necessary?”
I’m using any means to push through the awfulness that is always Week 2: Write or Die, writing longhand, closing my eyes and just writing whatever comes to mind concerning the scene.
Hopefully everything comes through in the edits and rewrites in January.
How are you all doing on your wordcounts? Are you just as frustrated with Week 2?
I do not do it. It is in November right in the middle of Thanksgiving, and I will be totally out during that entire week. But I hope you can keep it going.

I loathe it too! Hate it! Someone told me to give myself a break, but I think its the only fun I’m having, (complaining about NaNo and my lousy writing)…cheers, keep up the loathsome work! Robin
