Oh man, I wasn't entirely sure I was going to make it. The novel keeps veering off in weird directions, and while that's a good way to keep things interesting, it's not necessary the most helpful, especially if there was some sort of point you were trying to make ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's been little over a week, but I should give at the very least an update on my current progress.

First of all, word count.In terms of word count, I'm rocking. I average around 2050 words a day, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, depending on exactly how talkitive my muse is being. Some days she's not very talkitive at ( Read more... )

So I really need to work on the characters - so far I only have two. For what it's worth, I've got some other projects that I'm working on right now so I don't have to be working on them at the same time I'm working on NaNo, so I figure that within the next week I'll be working things out in my head - and then writing them down at night ( Read more... )
