Confession from a Writer # 4: Reverse Nanowrimo

I was supposed to spend the weekend editing, but the rebellious part of me whispered, in a week you’ll be knee deep in Nanowrimo so why don’t you take the weekend off. And I listed to that part of me. I figured this was the last time in the next month I could listen to this voice because as of November 1st that sucker is locked in a box and tucked behind the word count monster. My last post was some advice for the upcoming month. Continuing with this theme is my suggestion on word count.

I follow Reverse Nanowrimo or some people call it Backwards Nanowrimo. I start with a higher word count while I’m motivated. It’s the beginning of the month and I haven’t fallen to turkey coma yet.  Below is the chart I follow. I also tend to toss in try and get a higher word count on weekends to balance out hard days during the week where the house exploded and it couldn't wait.

-Happy Writing
