Just look at that little word count! NaNo who?
I’m going back to the original writing strategy I had for Sisters. There’s no way I can reach NaNo’s goal of 50K at this point. The initial plan was to write three chapters, pause and revise, visit the outline and note any changes in plot, and write three more chapters.
Rinse and repeat!
Anyone who has ever had to edit can tell you what a tedious, short-attention-span producing task it is. Imagine saving ALL of it for later and going back to several hundred pages of it. No thanks!
This is something I’ve never done before. I’ll still have to go back after I finish writing and reread it all, but the goal is to make the dreaded revision task a little easier.
Because nobody asked, here’s my two cents on current events…
Has it made working on Sisters harder? Yes. Did I vote for him? No. Am I going to move on and keep living my life? Yes.
I just want to say one thing, and then I’ll shut up because the last thing I want to turn this blog into is a political stomping ground.
I’m going to talk about Internet rants because, good Lord…There are right ways to express your anger and there are obnoxious ways.
Throwing tantrums online, labeling every single person who voted a certain way a [insert buzzword here], and declaring that you’re unfriending every last person who voted differently than you does one thing, and one thing only.
It alienates people, even those who share your views.
“Your crazy Internet rant really opened my eyes!” said no one ever.

Hilarious memes & rationality
It’s that simple.
