I love the past self / Evelyn play! Delicious. But you are right: this year could 100% be different, because every project is different, and every phase of every project is different and etc. etc.
I am a slow writer, who writes first drafts that aren't so much shitty as ugly, and I have limited writing time most days, so writing upwards of 1000 words per day isn't possible / doesn't make sense for my writing. HOWEVER, I'm going to commit to at least 500 a day, which will be challenging and invigorating yet attainable.
Also: YES. The Babadook is so very, very good. Have you seen "It Follows"? Also a good one.
The past self/Evelyn play has some serious Fuck that editor post card vibes, though I'm gutted to realize that postcard is no longer hanging and I have no idea where it went!
500 words sounds like a great plan! Honestly my daily quota is an average because my revision process doesn't lend itself to nice, even daily quotas. I end up doing a lot of revising in margins and scribbles and typing and cutting and then suddenly have a whole chapter done after tracking no words for several days. Like this week I'm working on taming a 7090 word chapter into something manageable so at some point this week it's gonna look like I had a massive writing day when really it was the result of wrestling the editor bear to the ground over several days.
I guess I’ll be doing NaNoWriMo by default? I had the wild idea to completely rewrite the novel I’m querying with a new main character. So wish me luck! 😬
That sounds like a sentence ripped from a launch night Q&A question about your writing process. "So I had the wild idea to completely rewrite the novel I was querying with a new main character..." Good luck!
