Saturday, November 08, 2003 Jesus. I just finished a fifty minute writing bout where I had an absolute, exhilarating ball. I'm experienced enough to know that 50% of the time I feel like that, the end product is messy indulgent crap, but holy god does it feel amazing when you're in it. My conscious and unconscious mind just seemed to be working in unison, each playing off the other, and filling the pages effortlessly as I riffed knowledgeably on a topic I knew nothing about and didn't think I could ever do justice to. When I started that session, I had plucked out about 1400 words in the course of two or three slow sessions throughout the day. When I was done, I had added another 1400 words to that, and had hit a planned peak in the book better than I could have ever hoped. Everything else in the NaNovel is a mess (an unbelievably large mess) but taken on its own, just as an in-the-moment, for-the-moment, kind of incident, that little session was among the most dizzyingly ticklish things I think I've ever done. Hopefully, two or ten months down the road, it won't turn out to be crap, but like I said: as an in-the-moment thing, I'm intoxicated. posted by Jeff Lester | 8:03 PM | |
