As you said, we can be quite prone to adding too much junk that we THINK is great at the time, but actually just completely takes away from the story.

I don't expect my first NaNo attempt to be fantastic and what not, but I am confident in my plot and characters.

At that point, you begin to wonder if you can write a good novel in 30 days.

Hehe.<br /><br />Me and my novel are having a somewhat tempestuous relationship: I go from being madly in love with it, to feeling doubt and even indifference. The latter usually comes when I've not paid it enough attention, so I'm sure NaNo will force us to work things out.<br /><br />I'm so excited Catherine Noblehttp://www.catherinenoble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226248880778723196.post-63268478797989052212011-10-21T19:49:24.918-07:002011-10-21T19:49:24.918-07:00That's a good way to put it!

For the longest time, when I first started and kept coming back to Illumine, I kept saying, "Maybe this isn't it. Maybe it's my first failure. All writers have it."
