I am not doing NaNo. It is, from what I understand, a sprint -- and I blew out my knee many years ago!
This ROW80 is perfect for me. My main goal is to fit writing into my daily life. No, NO, not fit it in. Welcome it, enjoy it, get a "high" from it!
Yes, I'm a plotter, and for ROW80 I challenged myself to just get the words out. Many words swim around, dart around, smash around inside my head that I never capture them. The plotter side of my brain has agreed to let those words come out in jumbles to whatever media is available: captured on scraps of paper or whispered into the phone-recorder app or punched into the computer. It's better for me to capture the big fish and then later entice the little fish back.
And if a certain big fish doesn't belong in this cioppino (fish stew), then into the freezer it goes for a different fish tale at a later date.
