I am still Nano'ing. Some days I write like crazy, some days I'm just crazy, and some days I don't write at all. I'm behind. I'm at 20, 019 words. It's a respectable word count even though i'm behind. I'm motivated but not too stressed about getting the "win". Because the win for me is the process.... the improvements.
My characters are strong. I like that I'm learning how to move the story. I like that I'm not hung up on whether or not it's good enough....after all, it's Nano, and if i decided to type my grocery list, that would be good enough. Fortunately, I haven't had to do that. I don't have much detail or much description yet. I'm a little afraid that while i'm in a moment of thinking about what the characters are doing that if i get too descriptive, i'll lose track of where they are going. I feel like it's either describe the room and the dress or describe the action. I don't feel like i can do both. Oh... imagine the word count if i keep enough focus to do both!
okay, off to either Nano or go to bed. It was a really rough day at work, and tomorrow is predicted to be worse. Maybe I'll just type my grocery list.....

I like the idea that the "win" is the "process." This seems true about so much of writing, winning our way along one page at a time. Keep writing :)
