How to write a novel by Kristin

"A fantastical adventure of epic insanity."

How I did it: I participated in NaNoWriMo this past November and finished on Day 29. I know some of you are probably thinking, "Well then it's not a real novel because NaNoWriMo is all about word count and not content," but that wasn't the case for me. I will admit that around day 10 or so I went a little crazy and started writing weird shit, but I went back and got rid of it the next day. Hahaha. Now I am in the process of hammering out the details and plot holes. My next goal: to be published! (Wish me luck >.<)

Lessons & tips: Just. Write. Seriously, the idea for this novel has been picking at me since I was 16! (circa 2004-2005) 

Finally, in 2010, I just sat down for NaNo, and I just wrote. And you know what? The first day I wrote half a chapter. The second day, I finished that chapter. On the third day, I wrote four more chapters in one (very long) sitting. If you just sit down and write, it will come. Whether it's in a dribble or a flood, it will come.
