Currently have 1,450 words. Not as good as my previous word counts, but it’s something. Writing a horror novel for this year’s WriMo, and I’m thinking of doing some actions for self-care (read: fanfiction and such) to keep from having nightmares. Hopefully the novel will be good, of course. 

I've won NaNoWriMo. Well, words-wise. Just doing some fine-tuning right now and I might be uploading some chapters to Wattpad and whatnot. Someone at my horseback riding told me about Wattpad and I figured that I should at least give it a shot. Dip my toes in the water. It's a pain so far, but it's interesting nonetheless and cool. Hopefully I can ( Read more... )

First off, happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you're having a great one. Now, onto NaNo. Have 42,554 words right now, and pleased that my Monster Slayer wants more dimensions to his character. Seriously did not expect that. Great job, man.

Currently have 40,874 words. Jesus. Anyway, I think I'm doing pretty well so far. I am getting more into the head of my villain, for starters, and starting to feel like he isn't just some evil Van Helsing. Even had some nice Even Evil Has Loved Ones moments. So I am getting there. I am.

Currently have 35,773 words. Jesus. Anyway, did well, even if for this bit of writing time I wonder if I went too far.

Let's say it's a case of real life bleeding into fiction ( Read more... )

Current word count is 30,723 words. Jesus. Anyway, worked more on the vampire spirit's scene. I'm starting to like him. Gah, I want to do a prequel to this almost, but it's too soon.

Currently have 27,332 words so far. Not bad. Not bad at all. And I'm starting to feel for the first time that they're not crap either. Phew.

Currently have 25,629 words so far. Can't say they're good -- the upside really was the scenes with the vampire ghost, actually -- but I made it. I'm making it. My work may be rubbish, but I'm making it.

Currently have 23,827 words. Which...yeah. Not too shabby. Anyway, I think I did well in terms of flashbacks to the Monster Slayer's backstory, even though...well, do vampires have an afterlife? I kind of got the impression from the book version of Dracula that staking them kind of "set them free", in a sense, but can they appear as ghosts, for ( Read more... )
