#PantsNaNoWriMo day 21: In the trenches thoughts on being a pantser/gardener - and a reminder that dramatic beats and story structure are mileposts only, and not formula. A lot of story-structure advice comes from analyzing what someone else did intuitively.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 19: Pantsing DOES NOT mean no structure. I use a structure - and spreadsheets! - to chart my progress and predict the novel beats and eventual length. Today I talk about how this works, and when it doesn't, and why THE FATE OF THE TALA will be 40K longer than I thought. Also why I'm so energized by this somewhat daunting discovery! Hint: it has to do with Tao.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 16: How writing is real work - and energetically draining - and at first just showing up to do the work is enough. Also giving ourselves credit for degree of difficulty.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 15: On being stuck, whether it's writer's block, and how creative flow can't be scheduled. Also a bit on how our creative brainz work.

The book I mention is MY STROKE OF INSIGHT: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey, by Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 13: On the value of daydreaming, and - though only writing counts as writing - how this is the great cheat if you don't have unlimited time to write. Also, a poem about poets and windows.

The poem I read is "Monday," from Billy Collins' 2006 poetry collection The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems. You can read it here.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 12: Why competition can be toxic, having faith in your work, and why comparisons are invidious. And why my motto is "Keep your eyes on your own work."
