Getting ready to click out a Novel: Write on Wednesday!
Posted by blk1 on October 29, 2008
I am ready for this event. I heard about it from you, Becca and from Stacey on Two Writing Teachers.
This is my first time!
I don’t know why, but I assumed we would be writing this online. I even created a new blogsite for it, but now I’m thinking I might just keep it private, although I have become a public writer and love it, but I think this exercise is to keep your fingers moving on the keyboard without stopping for spell check, etc. So I might just use the old fashioned Word or maybe my Apple Pages program. I’m thinking…
I love the idea. Funny it’s been going on for 10 years and I never heard about it. Ten years ago, I was already out as a writer but I wonder if I would have been ready to take up the challenge.
Of course I won’t be writing for this day and night. There’s the election next week, there’s the National Writing Project Conference in San Antonio, there’s some work, the Thankgiving. There’s life, but I will find time to return to two of my favorite ladies, Jessie and Molly and their adventures. I began episodes into their lives a few summers ago for during our Summer Institute and the group urged me on to keep the story going.
That was a few years ago, before I became a public, daily writer. I’m different and they are different. Jessie and Molly will reconnect on Friday. I will keep you posted.
I’m as excited about this challenge as I am about a new president coming our way. That’s almost!
I am practicing right now. But time for a break. I am moving to my guitar. My fingers need another challenge.
