Well, it's here! I know some of my friends are already warming up their keyboards, getting ready for the NaNoWriMo challenge. Hats off to you, writers!
I'm not taking up the November challenge, but here's something I stumbled onto. It's called Write or Die. And it's kind of "fun" because you get to chose just how insane you want to be while cranking out the prose. There's the kamikaze zone that should strike fear into any hesitant fingertips. If you stop typing too long, your words start to disappear. OH NO!
Take a look and test it out before the big day and share what you produce under pressure. I'd love to see the results. Bet it's great and has a touch of the frantic. Just what you want to keep us readers turning the pages.
I'm a writer who captures the pulse of adolescent confusion in my Young Adult fiction, Sliding on the Edge and The Princess of Las Pulgas. Of course, I often reveal a lot of my Old Adult confusion while doing that. My first Middle Grade fantasy titled Alligators Overhead is out to good reviews, so that's making me happy. SUMMER SCHEDULE: I'll be blogging on Mondays only, unless there's something important.
In hs and college, I worked well under pressure. I did most of my papers 1-2 days before deadline and still did well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a deadline does help me to produce, but man, that sounds brutal!!!
This is really cool! I tried it without many parameters just for fun and think I'll go back again later and do it more seriously. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave! I'm waiting until I'm sure I have something stored those fingertips to actually plunk down.
