(no subject)

Last night I wrote nearly 2,000 words in less than 2 hours. And it's not like I spent the rest of the day thinking of what to write. If I could get in the zone maintain that momentum every time I was in front of a computer with nothing important to do, I'd've finished the NaNoWriMo challenge in about a third of the required time.

I admit to using a cheap trick from time to time, but if founder Chris Baty endorsed it, then why should I mind? Specifically, he said to resist deletion: Anything you plan to delete in editing after reaching 50,000 words, you can turn to white text. My variant involves mere yellow highlighting instead; it's quicker and less confusing.

Incidentally, my protagonist is preternaturally fast. Just not when it comes to thinking of stories.
