Well, it's National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Stories are being written, characters are coming to life, and plots that've been dormant for a long time are now taking shape, both in the writer's mind and on the keyboard. What's your writing style during NaNo? Do you outline first and then write the story? Or do you go ahead and write, and then come back and edit later? I personally find it easier to write, and then come back to it later and edit. However, it does create problems, and can make the editing last longer than I'd like to.
Now, in March, there's National Novel Editing Month where you have to edit a certain amount of words during the month of March. Do you wait for that month to role around before you begin tidying up the story? Or do you plunge headline into editing as soon as NaNo's over?
I'm not doing NaNo, but I admire anyone who takes on the challenge. Good luck with your project, Leah!
