NaNoWriMo

[The Winter Saint]

Water for Elephants was written during NaNoWriMo. If writers can write, they will write good books during November. Rev, writing books is fucking hard. You'll get it at some point. Just getting it written is like ripping an eyeball out.

The rough draft was written during NaNoWriMo. But that turd was polished afterward. It's a fun challenge, but anyone who thinks that they will have a publishable novel at the end of the month is so sadly mistaken. I spent nine months on my graduate thesis, which was a full length novel, and considered "publishable" at the end, but I am still tweaking it here and there, and it's been over a year and a half since I graduated.
