Ganbatte!
Well, it's Day 2 of NaNo, and so far I'm going strong. I didn't make it to my area's write-in Sunday. I went home to WI instead, but I still managed to meet my 2,500 word goal for Sunday. I'm thinking maybe the write-ins wouldn't actually help my writing that much. I tend to need to just park in front of the computer with the novel's playlist on loop and ignore the outside world. Yes, I make a tailored playlist for each novel I write. I've had the one for NaNo 09 since mid-October.
Anyway, I'd still like to go to a meet-up or write-in this year. Just to meet other writers in my area. "Make a Friend" is on this year's to-do list and time is a-runnin' out.
In writing news, I already had an I-Hate-My-Writing-Style relapse, but it passed. I'm trying really hard not to backtrack for any reason, because once I start reading back what I've written, I get sucked into editing mode and my creative side flounces off in a huff.
I say "trying" because I sort of already did. But with good reason. I needed to change a scene's setting to make sense with something new I was writing. And it ended up netting me more words and clearing up a block. So. Doesn't count.
I've been lurking over at nanowrimo and they have these daily excerpt posts where you can add what you've written for the day. I'm thinking of posting Chapter 1 of my novel. Just for the lulz. Or I guess I could just post it here.
I don't know. I'm oscillating between "Hate it!" and "Eh, it's not so bad...." so it all depends on what mood I'm in.
Oh, and I'm dusting off the ol' Writing Progress box. Good to have you back, buddy:
Writing Progress:
Title: Unintended Necromancy (Still not sure if I hate that title or not....)
Words: 5,908 of 50,000
Progress Today: 3,060 of 2,000
