The rules are the same. Write at least a 50,000 word book in a month. It sounds easy for me, but even as I think about it, I know it won't be. At the very least, it shouldn't. I did just graduate college - that means I need to find a job. Preferably soon.
One of the things I keep being told to press on though is the fact that I didn't write 5 books and a novella this year by accident. God did implement this somehow and it couldn't have just been a freak mistake for things to progress as far as they So even with my bills looming off in the distance, staring down at me, I'm trying to just remain calm.
Which I think is good advice for any recent college grad. Don't freak out. Just take the days one at a time. Continue to do your best in all that you do. So if it means you're going back to work in retail for the time being, okay. Be happy with the fact that you have a job, that you've been awarded the opportunity to make money. If you're heading off to some big company with a large salary, good for you. And if you're like me, scrounging about for a job and pleading with whomever may come across our way, just relax. It'll all be okay. Just keep working. Keep pushing forward.
Whatever you do and whatever you are, be the greatest of that. No one can do you better than you.
And I encourage all the writers out there to join Camp Nano. Even those that haven't thought to actually write. The first step is always the hardest. Trust me. After that, well, sometimes you can just let gravity do it's work. Take a step of faith and give it a shot. Writing a book isn't easy, but it can be one of the greatest things ever.
In other news, my sister-in-law is due to deliver her baby sometime in the next week. Wow, does time fly.
Happy writing!
