NaNoWriMo has once again come to a close. I didn't make a big deal of it, but I did "win" and got my 50,000 words done. "What Comes After" still needs a little more writing to be complete--50,000 didn't do the trick! But it's not much, just gotta finish what little is left of the last chapter and then slap on an epilogue and it's ready for beta ( Read more... )

Keeping track of my progress keeps me motivated. Also, a count of my progress on WCA--however you want to look at it. Good luck to all NaNoWriMo's out there!

I don't know if anyone will pay this any attention whatsoever, but if you do, I need ideas ASAP. I have this scene I just wrote where Dean takes a shower. It can be re-wrote if necessary to have him just clean up with a washrag, but I'd like to keep in intact if I can. The problem is, he has stitches across his chest--and you're not supposed to get ( Read more... )

So I've reached that spot in my writing where music is instrumental in setting the tone and mood for what I'm typing out. It doesn't always happen, a lot of the time the music is just background noise to keep me motivated and to tune out the TV and family noise. But today I found "Rowing" from Soundgarden's new album pretty instrumental...to the ( Read more... )

It seems like just when I was getting back into the swing of regular posting, I kinda became a hermit out of the blue. What was up with that? Truthfully, I'm still not fully out and about just yet, but things are getting better and I'm feeling less antisocial as I was.I actually managed to joke around and smile at work the last two days even if I ( Read more... )

I think I may have finalized my idea for my NaNo story *crosses fingers*. It's taken me almost the whole thing to really see it solidify. I think it's going to need a lot of revision, eventually, but I'm happy to report that I feel kinda good about "some" of my ideas. A new Mumford and Sons song really seemed to bind it all together for me (not ( Read more... )

Whew! Stopping at 2,618 words for the day. That makes my daily goal--and I'm spent. *droops* I was far too lazy to post at LJ the last couple of days, but not like this is a big ol' important announcement. I think I may have changed Molly's name to Emma. I was watching Once Upon a Time and got it from Emma Swan, one of the main characters. What say ( Read more... )

As I told all my FB peeps yesterday, I'm going to start posting my daily word count here instead of there as a status message. I had intended to anyway, but just didn't get around to it. Okay, so my goal is to write about 2,500 words a day, five days a week. That gives me a two day cushion every week just in case I have days that I don't have time ( Read more... )

So, LJers, NaNoWriMO has begun! I finally decided to bite the bullet and at least try. If I don't make it, then I don't make it; if it needs a lot of rework, then I can always do that later. All that is important is that I begin somewhere and do as much as I can. I guarantee nothing but a solid attempt--I don't want to put too much pressure on ( Read more... )
