The Week Three wrapup

Nov 21, 2008 20:31

As of tonight I'm up to 40k on the Nano!  I feel like the story's really coming together, and my characters have behaved for me in ways I dared only dream of.  Charlotte's told me all about her past, Ruby has endeared herself to me, the Mysterious Guy has a name and enough of a personality to make him appropriately scary, and it creeps me out how well I can write for poor demented Sara.  And as my lead protagonist, Simon's been an awfully good sport about it all.

It's really fun.  I feel like I'm bonding with my characters.  Just one more excuse to talk to myself.

I almost gave up on the writing last weekend.  Two weekends in a row now I've been called in to work, so I've had around twenty hours of overtime so far.  I'm exhausted, not quite sure how I'm still functioning.  AND I haven't been playing Warcraft, so I haven't had my daily dose of, you know, killing bitches.  The stress: it accumulates.

Also:  Chrono Trigger on the DS as of this coming Tuesday.  Rejoice!!
