My WriMo gear just came in the mail, and I’m so incredibly excited! I wanted to use everything right away but a little birdie told me that it’s considered bad luck to use the stuff before November if it’s brand new. Despite the fact that it’s complete agony, I’m waiting until about two minutes before midnight to put the shirt on then I’ll kick off NaNo Season with my gear handy!
When it comes to NaNoWriMo, I’m completely superstitious. To be extra careful, I’m also backing up my entire computer in three places. So, fellow writers, what are you superstitions, and what do you do to prepare for them? Anyone else have a fear like mine with the NaNo gear?
Hello out there! If anyone is there, that is.
National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo. 50,000 words, 30 days, November 1-30, 2009. No problem.
In case you are wondering, that’s 1,666.6666666667 words a day. or 1,667 words. Yes, I’m insane. And by the way – that’s 175 pages in a word document, roughly.
I have a plot. A good, strong plot, I think. Enough to write about for a month. I have characters. They need a bit of work.
I don’t have a life. That’s not a problem.
I have schoolwork. Now THAT’S a problem.
Most importantly, I have my friends – this is good, very good. They’ll help me as I write and blog and suffer my way through NaNoWrimo 2009.
Cheers!
