Anyone who reads this blog is aware that I've been in the throes of a tough decsion regarding my story Toe the Line . . . whether to continue to search for an agent and publish following a conventional method or to self/ e publsih. Articles like this one (here) always make me swerve into the lane of self publishing. Still not sure which way to go. I have sent my query out to several agents, maybe this time I'll learn that it's a waste of time.
I enjoyed this article (here). For anyone who wants to know a bit of background about NaNoWriMo, or how another writer sees the event, it is a short read. Basically it let me know that I'm just as motivate as that dude and have the second guesses except I don't harken back to the movie Cool Runnings, for me, it's Never Been Licked (WHOOP!).
Finally there is this (here). Truthfully this link best represents my own opinion on NaNoWriMo. The article is titled Everyone Has a Certain Amount of Bad Writing to Get Out of Their System. This is the mantra I keep, even if my writing is horrid, it's writing. I look back on my last few year's NaNoWriMo submissions and they look nothing like the final manuscripts. In the words of Rebecca Howe when she was a part of Norm's painting company: "ust do it, Babe!"
