bootcamp!!
okay i'm going to do it. join the november is novel month experience. the commitment? you have to write 50,000 words by November 30th. yesirree. how many pages is that a day? will i still get to watch top chef? does there need to be a beginning, middle and end? can i use purple prose. YES to all. turn on the tv if you need to. but write write write . the only rule. one i used to tell my ex when he went bowling. don't think. every character you ever thought about - bring them out of the closet. mix them and match them. rearrange them. take them to court. kill them off. dress them up in sequins. write. this will be life changing even if no one ever reads a word of what you write. even if YOU don't read a word of it. write. you'll emerge off the mountain of november like charlton heston in ten commandments. hair turned white (wait it already it white) light in the eyes. ferocious with knowing what to do next. write. (I'll keep you posted)
