It's November 15 (well, it was a few minutes ago) - the half way point. The day when NaNoers ought to reach 25,000 words of their 50k target if they want that steady-paced success. And I am so there! Past there, actually. After a week of the dull real life stuff I just couldn't get myself not to...
NaNoWriMo: 24,624 words so far Believe me, it's getting a total re-write when I finish it and holiday gift making. This is totally gonna be an outline. Parts are good enough, parts I think go off track because I'm rushing. Reading: Finished Grave Secret (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 4) . So I had...
Links: I found a house that Melissa and Brian might both wanna buy. Any other Doctor Who fans too. Here. Kinda afraid to show Brian. Our house might end up with a makeover and I don't watch Doctor Who. Though he could decorate it worse. It'd be better than turning it into a Star Trek ship or...
Forgot to update yesterday. But I guess now that I'm caught up, the drama of the daily struggle has lessened and the only jucy thing remaining is what story elements I will choose to divulge. (Am I sounding like a writer yet? ^__^) Also, being caught up makes it a cinch to hit my NaNo quota. After...
I don't like admitting it (who does?) but I'm not feelin' the NaNoWriMo this year. I know, I know. I'm supposed to "just keep writing anyway". It's the exercise in making yourself write, not necessarily the story that comes out of it. I know this and yet, I've just decided not to do it this year. I...
So very much to do and never enough time in the day. Mostly because I am able and willing to sleep, to say good night, and wake up to say good morning, and pleasantly say 'Yes, I did sleep well. You?' October's end was quite unexpected. And therefore unexpectedly busy. I regret none of it, but I am...
Whew! I caught up (13,407 words)! [hoorah! hoorah! - the crowd of one in my apartment goes wild!] And I just barely made it. Okay, I sort of cheated, but not really. I'd written a couple hundred words in Michigan on the first day, but decided I didn't like it as the beginning of my story. I put it...
Actual conversation we just had: Brian: You know I love you and shit Me: You love shit? Brian: And you. *insert my raised eyebrow wtf? look here* Brian: Hey you got top billing. *insert same look here again* Brian: You know you give me that look a lot when I speak. Indeed I do. Random thoughts: In...
I am 1/5th the way through! More than 20%! I passed today's NaNo catch-up goal (10,000 words) with over an hour to spare, and surpassed it (10,578) with half an hour to spare. I'll catch up tomorrow for sure! I'm only stopping now because my MC is going to bed, too, so it seemed like a good spot. In...
NaNoWriMo update: 10,124 words so far. I skipped a day, or was it two? Plus I did some minor tweaking. No, no major editing -- I know I'm still supposed to have crap. Just a little tweaking as I had screwed up a bit so bad, I had to fix it enough to be able to keep writing the crap even ;) I'm sure...
Didn't quite hit my double quota before midnight like I needed to catch up for nanowrimo, but I should get there before I go to bed tonight. Currently at 6,120. Need to get to 6,668 before I go to sleep. (Though I really should be at 10,002 if I were caught up.) In the story today: a gnome named...
I wrote over 3300 words for NaNo today, but I'm still 5,000 behind due to my late start! But if I can write double the daily quota for the next three days I should catch up. In the story so far: a shapeshifting woman, a very dark cavern, and a garden built by gnomes out of rock, moss, and non-native...
making pathetic progress so far on my word count. But I'm gonna stay up all night to catch up a bit. ...If I can keep myself from taking too many breaks.... Which doesn't seem likely. Word count is at 1586. p.s. Feel free to hound me when I'm behind. I'm not sure I can rely on those 'invisible guilt...
I spent the first few days of November at my mom's in Michigan, where there was only dial up internet, no cell phone signal, and adorable nephews to distract me. So I'm getting a late start on my writing. The daily quota (if you write every day) is 1,667 words. I'm about 7,000 behind. Here I go!
I haven't been writing nearly enough over the past year or two, as my sparse blog can attest. I mean, I've been thinking about my writing a lot for months now, but mostly in terms of research for my big ole epic young adult fantasy series. But nothing that I've really been writing down. So a couple...
Today (and every day so far) I've been working on my Nanowrimo Novel. I just reached 5,000 words. I made my goal for today. But I started on Nov. 2, not the first, so I'm still 1,667 words behind more or less. http://www.nanowrimo.com. I'm also making sourdough bread. It's a day long project. But...
I am currently reading Fade Out! So far, it is amazing. Testing week is over, so i have a short break till next time. It is also the 5th day of nanowrimo and i am WAY behind. I'm supposed to be at 8340 words, im not even close. I will be up all night doing that. The crap load of candy i have will...
First thing: If you ever thought to yourself, "Gosh, I have no idea what actually happened with Enron," maybe you should consider seeing a documentary called Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I wasn't particularly interested, because it sounds boring and I didn't know a thing about Enron. I...
I've made the mistake of writing the "end" of my NaNoWriMo story. It was in my head, and I was excited, because I'd actually come up with an ending. Which I didn't start out with - so you can imagine my pleasure. This freak of a story which I'd embarked upon without any knowledge of the characters...
