Nano’s around the corner – 2 days away actually.
AJ’s ready to go. We are in between books so yay! no worrying about finishing things. We hope that it will play out well. The outline is there. AJ is eager to write and is thinking about that first scene. There are technically two first scenes… You’ll get it once it starts.
In case you missed it, AJ wasted an entire lunch hour making the cover for the story:
Isn’t it appropriate? For what you know of Sage? And since it’s a dream sequence about his heroes it’s perfect. Granted they aren’t his professional heroes, because those are a completely different entity entirely.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Linus Torvalds to name a few, I’ve heard of the first two, AJ knows the other two too. Microsoft, Apple, Apple and Linux I think. AJ’s nodding and I’m shrugging. I get so lost sometimes.
Anyway 50K starts in two days. AJ’s daughters participating this year too with actual plans to finish. You might get post 1 on day 1 we’ll see how much time AJ has to post it up while writing and working hard core on her app at work.

It’s only 2 days away?! 😬😬😬 Oh sweet chimichangas. I haven’t finished my prep work that I’ve never done for a NaNo before. Good luck AJ and AJ’s daughter. 🙂

AJ says thanks. You can finish but even if you don’t don’t let it stop you from starting.

That’s what I keep reminding myself :) I’ve started pretty much every year, but I’ve never finished. I’m going to do my absolute best to let this create better writing habits, at the very least!

Yes! AJ says start out with a smaller goal if you don’t think you can do 50k. Ajs first win was camp at 35k I think 750 words a day. It creates a habit. AJ feels guilty when no writing happens. I’m sure it has nothing to do with my complaining.

I’m setting a personal goal of 25k. Half will be good since I’m coming from practically no writing in the last 1.5 years.

Sounds great! Keep us appraised of your progress. AJ days I can poke and prod you if you need the motivation. I’ll be posting nano writing here. But it’ll be scene by scene not by day or as written.

What would keep you motivated to keep on writing? comments, likes, (knowing someone’s reading), you want me to ask you every day? (that might become something obsess over though)

Haha, likes and comments help. But if Friday hits and I’ve not posted, please send me a scathing email.
