chronicled & illustrated

It’s good to have experience. You can quote me on that.

I got caught up and slightly ahead on word count by metaphorically pasting myself to the chair and duct taping the chair to the computer. I wanted to stop every time I came up for air…but I knew from experience that this would be a very bad idea indeed.

Remembering that it only gets easier to write by using the process of writing is what helped me, yesterday.

If I stop writing because I’m displeased with the words coming out of me, then I only make the problem worse.

Bad writing is like heavy rain.
Stopping is like sitting in the middle of the deluge instead of driving out of it.
Achieving the daily word count is like driving out of the downpour into the sunshine.
Umm.
Yeah.
So Sayeth Nanth—who is, remember, in the Bad Writing phase of this process.

Onward, Warrior-Writers!
