nanowrimo_lj | NaNo Pep Card: Day 8 (Reply)

Just realized that I hadn't posted this and it's nearly tiime for me to head to work. My bad! Better late than never!

Ah, the start of the second week. Where things get more, um...interesting. If Week One was all about character creation, Week Two is about finding something to do with all the people milling around in your book. Yes, we're talking plot here, a word that sends a lot of writer needlessly running in fear. Just keep prodding your characters and a plot will set itself in motion this week. Know, though, that the decisions of Week Two will make this the most exhausting of all four weeks.

Also, know that the more you write, the more inspired you are going to feel. If you're feeling a little pokey now, it's because you're not writing enough. Push yourself to write every day, and make a point of adding something to your word count anytime you're within striking distance of a keyboard.

Today's flashcard from the No Plot? No Problem! writing kit, the genius brainchild of Chris Baty.

...*meeps* Thanks for the head's up, Chris!
