In September, I started the prep work by thinking of some ideas, nothing much came of that until I thought of the name ‘Mica’ but for a girl. From there a story was formed. I wanted my main character to be named Mica and I really liked the name and was ready to make a story out of that. Lately my stories have been centering on good, intellectual girls and I wanted to change that so I decided that Mica would be a delinquent of sorts. This would be the story of her finding her way. This isn’t the first time that a story was born out of me liking a name and probably won’t be the last.
I think this will be a good challenge to try to write 50,000 words in one month. The only way to do that is to turn off your self-editor and just write. You can’t edit what you’re writing when you’re writing it or you won’t get done. It usually takes me a few months to finish a manuscript so this will be an interesting challenge. I started today and I’m excited for this. I think it’s going to be easy to do, I mean not too hard since I like to write anyway. I just have to make sure I’m writing every day.
