So... I forgot it was November! So I signed up last minute to do Nanowrimo. I'm not trying to start a new novel though. I'm trying to use it as a way to motivate me to do some writing and finish up some projects. This month I'm going to work on:
- My reverse bang which is coming up. So many ideas coming from the art that I had like 5 different starts and I ended up starting another one today... but this one is sticking and I love it so I'm happy about that.
- Dawnfire Skies - which has been on my Nanolist twice already. Last year I added 50 K to it so that's awesome, but it wasn't finished. This is my coming of age Steampunk story that I plotted out with my daughter years ago. I really like it though so I'm hoping to finish it up (I got put off by the battle scenes that I'd left untouched).
- Stone Soldiers - This is another past Nano. I only wrote about 25K on it and haven't added to it since. I think I need to do a bit of name changing in that one because every time I read it I have to remind myself which culture is which.... I tried to base the names on celtic versions but they're too similiar. That might help me to move on.
- Verse Updates. I know. I always promise this but I have an update for my Pern story that I need to reread before I can post and then I'm determined to push through and figure out what to do with the rest of my verses. Clock verse is locked into place pretty well now, but I've still got a few that need a firm direction.
So of course, I told my kids we have to spend the day cleaning , instead of writing. And my washer, which has been broken for 3 weeks, is finally fixed and I have a ton of laundry to do. However I managed to get about 600 words written so far today. Pandora is saving me. LIstening to Abney Park to get in the Steampunk feel for Dawnfire Skies. Not quite the mood for the other stories, however I find the quirky nature of Steampunk music makes me feel creative, even if it's not the streamline Sci-Fi or Fantasy era that I need for the other things I'm working on. :P
Alright... so off to write. Wish me luck. :P I think I'll try to keep a count on here this month. Something to keep me accountable for my words. So we'll see how far I get today :P
