Nanowrimo 2009 - First Time Contender

I'm in.

Totally screwed up my last attempt at writing a novel by overplanning. BIG TIME.

Storyboards, hoards of research, character worksheets, synopsis, outlines, detailed timelines, POV analysis... you name it, I did it - twice.

Sat down to write the stupid thing. Promptly crashed and burned.

WORST. EXPERIENCE. EVER.

In Chris Baty's words, "Nothing is more boring than spending an entire month simply inking over a drawing you penciled out months earlier."

So this year, I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

Let's do this.
