I'm the same, Imogen - I read back through every line as soon as I've finished writing it, and edit everything to bits. >< I've always said I'm pickier than the world champion nose picker's finger. XP
So for me, that'll be tough to just *ignore* the bad bits. I doubt I'll be able to, but I'm going to give it a go.
And yeah, I've got a few butterflies in my stomach, as well as a handful of cornish pixies. I'm a bit more comfortable now because I totally scrapped my old plot and started again (and that's making me feel
comfortable?!
), and now have a plot which requires next to no research, and is more ... writewhatyouknowish than the other one. ^_^
*swats butterflies*
But yeah, I'd agree with Enna - PLAAANN. XD I don't know, but for me personally I'm thinking 1500 words every day is enough, without wasting time sitting there thinking your way through the plot. If you wanna have an even huger challenge, don't plan. But I reckon you should have at least the beginning, middle and end sorted.
