In life, there is a scale of preparation...
To the extreme RIGHT: Those who are prepared... for everything! These people are currently drawing and connecting characters to the plot with added interest in sub plots and possibilities. There are a lot of notes and pictures and fun stuff before April even rolls around.
To the extreme LEFT: Those who are under-prepared. These people sign up for Camp NanoWriMo, probably on March 30. They need nothing but a writing medium and themselves. Words spew out at various rates but the words do come.
Today, I have some tips for both extremes and for the majority of you who fall somewhere between the two.
For specific Non-Preparation;
Well, first of all, if you are reading this blog for the purpose of doing Camp NaNoWriMo, then I would consider this a preparation. IF, however, you are reading just for the heck of it, and you haven't even signed up for camp, then fear not, you have not prepared.
My point ---> Make writing comfortable. Find a place or a time to make writing a daily habit. It can be hard when life gets in the way but you can't let it. If I were to take a poll on how many people shower on a daily basis, I would expect the percentage to be quite high. You find time to shower because you find it necessary. FIND TIME TO WRITE! It can be relaxing and fun! I've started writing this blog. I have NO idea if anyone reads it. I have NO idea if anyone finds my writing useful or interesting... but I write it because I like to write. I've got something to say and I'll say it. Blogger just happens to always be listening, readers or not. Make writing comfortable by finding a comfortable space or a particular time. Nanowrimo is all about challenging yourself to make writing an important part of you life... GOOD LUCK!
I would say that I fall into the group that is less prepared, though I take interest in finding ways to write and encourage writing, I primarily prefer to wing it on the first.
Side note: I am EXTREMELY excited about the upcoming cabin assignments tomorrow!
