We’re halfway through week two! Are you angry yet? If not, you will be, and if you are, that’s awesome!
No, really, it’s great. Because that means you now get to be Rage Kitties:
Rage Kitty says hello. And did not like his mittens.
This is the week where you get to hate everything, because if we tried to stop you, you’d vomit flaming plasma all over us, and it’d be gross. And you know what? It’s okay to hate everything once in awhile, and it’s totally okay to hate your novel. Because right now, at this instant, you’re probably thinking that your novel sucks.
And it probably does.
And that’s okay! You know why? Because now you can write whatever the heck you want! It sucks already! You can’t make it worse by adding more suck! So let it suck! Let it get weird and stupid and silly and–if necessary–let it go Rage Kitty all over the place! You don’t just count the words you want to read later; you get to count the words you hate, too! Isn’t that awesome?
So, Wrimos, go nuts! Get mad! Pound out 500 words from sheer spite and disgust and then add them to your word count! Write the worst scene you don’t want to write because it makes you angry how bad it is and add it to your word count! This week, get mad at your novel! Get angry! Get ragey*!
And don’t forget our write-ins this weekend! We’ll get mad as a group (and your MLs will bring a nifty mascot)! Be awesome, Wrimos, and get angry!
*Not a real word, and it would still count!
