Help! Nano advice please :)
Nov. 27th, 2007 01:38 pmSlight hitch on NaNo. I finished the first draft of Secrets at 44,000 words. It is rough as a brillo pad, but it's done and now needs time, space and careful - slow - editing. I refuse to write padding for it, which I *know* is just padding and will have to come out again. That seems pointless.
So what do I do to get those last 6,000 words?
1. Write that Maecenas fanfic
2. Start 'The Boys of Summer' - a short contemporary m/m romance which I can give LBR while I work on making Secrets really good
3. Write Joyful Molly's birthday fic.
4. Give up NaNo this year, because I've already achieved what I wanted to do with it.
It doesn't help, of course, that I have a stinking cold and can barely sit up, let alone write.
