What I'm learning this month...

In taking on the Novel Track challenge, I've learned these things so far:

• I can write at least 350 words per day.
• I can't edit a blank sheet but I can edit words and sentences.
• The act of writing stimulates the creativity center (sometimes)
• Good work can come on days when I just muscle it through with no inspiration.  
• I have trouble stopping at 350 words.
• Having over 12,000 words and the month is only half over encourages me to write on.

Mary DeMuth, who sets a standard for orderly determination in her writing, gives some excellent advice in an article for Writer's Digest.  

Write on!
