So, it’s been a while, but one of the main reasons for doing NaNoWriMo in the first place was to be able to pin down some things that will help me with writing in the future, just like any other writing project. In particular in this case, my writing habits. I think that the hard deadline and the close track I kept of things really helped a lot ( Read more... )

So, since I finished Nanunanu, my reward was that I got to play this weekend. I actually intended to write on Sunday, but my husband needed help with some things so I did that instead ( Read more... )

There'll be a bigger update later but, since I might not get to it for a while...

Work is crazy due to pencil week(s), and so, I have little time to post. But, here are (look at what happens to you when you're surrounded by English people) the raw data:

I am at 46,957 words.
Tonight is the last night to write.
This means I have 3,043 words to go.

Well, for a brief update, I didn't end up bouncing around. Or, at least, I haven't yet. I'm not sure that I shouldn't, but I keep coming up with what I think should happen next, so I keep on going. I need to do something to get into the story again, though, because the characters are starting to get boring. Again with the shelf life ( Read more... )

I actually had more done than I remembered, so when I got done and was only 800 away from hitting 25,000 total, I tried to figure out if I had it in me to ( Read more... )

( Return of Cold wasn't going to be a strong enough title, so I went for the next level. )

So, the cold almost bested me again last night, but didn't. I ended up clocking in 1,780. I did two of the most important scenes in the book, and I don't think I'm going to end up being really happy with them in the long run because (as evidenced by word count) they're really short. But, that's okay. I can go in and edit them up later ( Read more... )

It bested me last night. The cold. I had an ouchy throat, and a cough, and was sleepy. So, instead of doing what a good girl should have, I went and got my blankie off the bed and watched my husband roll pimps on GTA San Andreas. And fell asleep through most of it. Though, I did pretty well at the dance competition when he handed me the ( Read more... )
