Well, the 3 Day Novel contest is approaching quickly and with this being my 5th year of participation I do know what to expect and how much work it will be.
For the next two weeks I will be doing research and preparing my outline - yes, that is allowed. In the previous years I stayed with my outline for 3 of the 4 years and I really made good progress and finished my novel with time to spare. The one year I strayed - well lets not discuss the details, but I did finish it. I'm proud of the accomplishment for actually having done it - but it was more of a skeleton with some basic details and while it was cohesive it wasn't as rich or as detailed as I would have liked.
That said, I still believe that just having completed and submitting the novel for the contest is something to be proud of and is an incredible achievement. It's fun, it's gruelling and its challenging but the rewards for completing it are incredible.
So... with that as my focus, I won't be blogging again until after the contest is over. Wish me luck and I'll be back soon.
