So I'm trying to set up two systems to get me into writing my novel quickly. For those who are following, this is a continuation of the chapter I had to write for uni. I also submitted it to the John Marsden Prize, so hopefully that will go well.
The first system I'm trying to set up is a bit of a writing circle with my friends at uni. Each of us has to write a minimum 1,000 words a week and then we spend the weekend swapping and reviewing each other's work. Hasn't quite caught on yet, but a few people seem interested.
The second technique to get me going is to try and write for time, rather than word count. I've assigned myself a quota of two hours minimum a day, with three hours preferred and any more rewarded. It's something I came across in a magazine a while back, but never really implemented. At this point, it's just experimentation, but if it takes off, it could become a general rule.
