TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK --TOCK!

I have an inner clock in my fingers…
That when I get to say around 326 words…
My mind shuts down…
Only for a few seconds though…
I’ll stretch my back, adjust my butt…
Then get back to the NaNoWriMO assignment.
Now mind you…
Even though I’m a pantser…
I usually have a clue what my story is…
And who the characters are.
But when writing for NaNoWriMo…
Lord!
My brain is in free-fall…
And I’ll grasp all thoughts…
That fly out of my head…
Like bats out of a belfry.
See?
I’m now using outdated, worn out clichés!
This is what I'm resorting to…
Because I need words…
Words, words, words!
And …
I have a confession…
I am now using adjectives…
AHHH!
And those loathsome adverbs…
YEEESSHH!
Oh, the horror! The horror!
Oh, to hell with the horror…
I’ve got a 2K word a day goal
And damn it…
I’m gonna use every word I can…
I’m gonna run with every run-on sentence…
I’m gonna have my characters talk about…
Every stupid thing they want…
And I'm going to describe every scene
In the utmost detail because
This is NaNoWriMo…
And I’ll edit later.

Always, Em-Musing

Cliches! Adverbs! Run-ons! Oh my!

Love your attitude. Just keep writing and writing... you'll fix it all when it's fixing time. Right now it's writing time!
