First Cup of Coffee - November 3, 2020
How #NaNoWriMo is most useful for writers and finding the rhythm that works for YOU. Also mulling on grammatical sins of self-publishing authors, place as a character, and the Rebecca remake.
This is the blog post I reference on gradually increasing word count during #NaNoWriMo (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2018/11/01/increasing-word-count-and-training-for-nanowrimo-2/).
The 2020 version of Rebecca is here (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2235695/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)

Thanks for listening!
haha, I’m actually the one that linked to your blog; I posted it in a couple places after looking it up for a conversation on Dream Foundry. Meant to send you this comment from someone on DF: “That guide to increasing wordcount has completely shifted my daily goal mindset for the better. Thank you!”
I am currently completely failing Nanowrimo/Free-Fall for some strange reason that started on 11/3… Ah well.
I can’t read stuff with too many typos either, but Gary doesn’t care at all. At least for us, the difference seems to be that he sees the story as a moving picture, and so as long as the mistakes don’t break the picture it’s fine, whereas I see the stories more as the text itself, so typos and awkward prose break my immersion.
Aha – mystery solved! Good to know and thanks for sharing
That’s so cool that it helped someone like that!
I totally believe nothing counts this year – it’s all just such a mess.
I think having the editor brain (or not) makes a huge difference on whether errors break the flow.
