As nanowrimo comes closer around the bend, I’m contemplating the way I’m gonna work to produce those 50 000 words. Typing would seem the logical choice, since it’s anyway something that I’ll need to do at some point in order to get the manuscript at the next level.
However, I’ve taken the habit of having a notebook with me at all times (I’ve actually ditched my wallet and use my moleskine to carry my cash and cards…) in order to jot down notes…
I’ve found that the typing process from written notes produces a better result, because of the editing that goes on when the typing happens. I also find that my ideas flow more easily with pen-to-paper, as it is always the way I’ve written, at least creative writing.
I had started a while ago an erotic novel, in french, and trying to get the story out when typing never worked for that particular story, which is now scattered in my papers at home. Maybe I’ll get a secomd notebook and work on that story as well during November… Or maybe I’ll make December another novel writing month…
