The WWIP
The title of this post stands for The Writing Work-In-Progress. Ie, the current NaNoWriMo story. Which is called 'Coeurmorph I: Dragons of Death' by-the-way.
I decided that this year, I was going to complete my NaNo story. I've done three NaNo's so far and the end result has been three complete messes. This year, the mess is going to be sorted into a linea-storyline, with-complete-sentences, as-few-mistakes-as-possible, first draft.
I am determined to do this and to do so before the first of July.
This way I can get an actual bound copy of my draft, which as a winner of NaNo, I am entitled to. This is one very cool thing about doing NaNo, of which I have yet to take advantage.
In order to facilitate this achievement, I have persuaded the three young ladies who, along with myself, managed to complete NaNo in Plymouth, to join me in finishing their stories. We meet every couple of weekends and write and discuss problems and are going to exchange our (hopefully) finished masterpieces with each other so that we can also get some feedback before the actual publication.
Exchange is to occur at the end of March. Ie, less than four weeks away now.
I have only edited about a quater of the damn thing and that took me from January to now.
EEEEEEEK!
Of course, in writing this post right now, I am procrastinating. I'm brilliantly good at doing this. So, back to the story woman!
