Finally, finally done. Half past seven the morning of December 1st. 3,048 words since I woke, 22,183 total in this first draft of the story. So that's well more than 10% I wrote on the last day, seems to be a habit of mine finishing that way.

I managed two of my major ( Read more... )

Another very bad batch of words, but at least it was a pretty productive one so far as words go. This was a NaNoWriMo thing, an effort for the month because I was teetering considering and someone I'm very close to signed up for it, so why not? The goal was to try and ( Read more... )

I don't like these words at all. They're awful, and insufficient in number, but we're still trying to get to the end of the story so that's what we have. Bit too foggy to say much here right now. Don't like that; there are things I have to say in these posts which ( Read more... )

Long, long delay since last posting here and of this story. I had an idea to put within the story a smaller adventure that could work as its own story and I wanted to finish that bit of digression before putting up any more excerpts. It went longer and slower to write ( Read more... )

Haven't posted updates for a couple of days because while I have been writing my output has not felt substantial enough to merit posting. Have not really got enough for that so far either, but I've been doing some thinking about what to do with this story to regain ( Read more... )

Surprisingly I actually managed more than the pace target last night. Probably won't happen again but it was nice to do that for once.

Was disappointed that a scene I had been building to ended up not happening. It turned out not to make sense given everything that had ( Read more... )

Last night I committed a NaNoWriMo sin. After a couple of hours writing some scenes for Ferideh the story would be improved if these were Algol's scenes instead and rewrote. They ended up longer than before but I wrote much less in total than I'd intended to. Trying to ( Read more... )

Not much to say at this point. Will have to increase the writing pace significantly to make the official targets but I think that's more "It would be nice" than "I have to". I am managing a rate about half that of the NaNoWriMo goal and for me that is significant. If I ( Read more... )

Only 3236 words words so far, had a stall the past couple of days. That usually happens to me, few days writing, few days of very little.

Well, it seemed for a while this project might not be novel length after all, but be much shorter. Although it also seemed what I ( Read more... )

Still hating this story. At least I have decided the main problem is it is badly written. The plot has no merit but if it were written skilfully it at least might be fun to read.

Coming out more like a sketched, rushed outline than a full story. I have that problem ( Read more... )
