Does anyone else have trouble with action? It's always been a bit of a thorn in my writing side, and I try and take extra care getting my MC from point A to point B without it reading like a screenplay. However, the tall order of busting out 1600 words a day for NaNo leaves me with no time for delicate forethought or fine tuning, and I often get up from my keyboard feeling like I just spewed gagworthy poo (sorry gotta save all my creative descriptors for my actual writing).
I know I just need to turn my internal editor off. Throw her in a muu-muu, give her mojito and send her on a nice sabbatical to Boca. But she keeps rearing her annoying little head, making me thoroughly grouchy. I'm officially a NaNo-Bitch.
And it's only the 3rd day.

Not a NaNo-bitch yet, but came close this morning. Seems my kids are all effed up from the time change and decided to get up at 6:00 am, right in the middle of mommy-writing time. ahhhhh!
My weakness is more dialogue, so I avoid it like the plague. My internal editor cringes everytime I attempt to pen a conversation.
Time change = evil. My son was up at 6:30. I just sat for a moment gently banging my head on the kitchen table. I'd gotten exactly one sentence written. So, I've just decided I'm going to be a bad parent this month and let Nicktoons and PBS do a lot of babysitting for me.
Internal editors need to rounded up and shot down Jessie James style.
If your writing is anything like your blogs posts you will have a winning novel by the end of it.
Girl, you are way ahead of me when it comes to action! You know I write NOTHING but dialogue!
Which is why I never finish anything!
