Life spins a bit faster in anticipation of year’s end. You intend to finish your novel, memoir, screenplay this year – simply finish. Fall is the time to write fast.
Take October to pre-plot or re-plot your novel, November to finish and December to revise. Sounds simple enough.
Forget the outcome for now. What you write doesn’t have to be perfect or brilliant or even very good. In fact, the sloppier the better. For the next month and a half, simply focus on writing fast everyday and moving between writing and standing back to consider your story as a whole all the way to the end.
The more enjoyable the process of writing for you, the more likely you are to write. See a path to writing everyday you can. Write fast.
