So it's actually the wee early hours of November 2nd and I've finally put up my first chapter. A bit irritated that I couldn't put it up on the 1st since I did write my 3000 yesterday. Unfortunately I underestimated my need to edit- it took me more than ages to edit things ( mostly because TV distracted me and I feel asleep).
But it's up- and omg did you see? 3000+words in one day, that's such a huge thing for me. Obviously if I edited it seriously, it'd probably be cut down a lot- maybe half the words?
I think the thing that really helped me write so much was "WriteMonkey"- a software that keeps you focused on writing. It blocks out your computer distractions with a dull typewriter-esque screen. My favorite feature is that timer- somehow I felt motivated to write until the timer read zero.
As for the editing, two cups of tea really helped because my writing was seriously horrible. At least now it's only terrible.
