Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
I just got home from my first ever NaNoWriMo write-in session at the Page One Bookstore here in Albuquerque. It was fun. I got a lot done.
Today's ending word count is: 10,509 (3,458 words written today)
Pretty good! I'm ahead of schedule.
I'll probably attend the next few write-ins just to get the social interaction but I didn't find myself to be anymore productive while being around people. Sure, it's a good way to block out a chunk of time to do nothing but write. And I tend to not putz around online as much when I know people are watching my every move. But, I think it can also produce sub-par work because some of it is competition against the other people in the room.
Sure, it makes you output a lot of words but the quality, I'm not so sure of. So, I think I'll continue doing most of my writing at home or out in public somewhere like a coffee shop. I do enjoy being out in public writing: it takes away the distractions of home (ie: dog, cats, husband, the pile of laundry that needs doing).
The upside: I got some good input as to whether my plot even sounded interesting. It's always nice to get other people's opinions on the matter.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I know what my next tattoo is going to be! I just need to figure out where I want to put it... Oh the complications in life.
