I got to my goal for NaNo, but the book isn’t done. It’s been giving me a little trouble actually. I’ve been stuck because I didn’t know what happened next. I’d gone off track – the story veered far enough that it looked like my original ending wasn’t going to work – but I didn’t [...]
I’m not doing too badly with my wordcount but I have a little catching up to do. There’ve been a few things here and there that slowed me down. (I blame it all on the cats)
I’m off to the library with my laptop to get some progress made. The story itself [...]
National Novel Writing Month starts November 1st and I’m getting ready for it.
If you’ve ever thought about writing, November is the time to try it. NaNoWriMo is when a group of crazy people all over the world attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in one month.
It’s intense, but it’s [...]
I finished my 50,000 words for National Novel Writing Month on Thursday night. I still had a few scenes to rough out to get to the end of the story but I finished that over the rest of the weekend.
I learned that if you just sit down and start, it’s not nearly as bad [...]
I’m gradually getting used to the extra hours at work, and I’m just barely keeping up with the minimum word counts for NaNoWriMo. I’m at about 37000 words, and trying to get over a cold.
10+ hours straight at work, about 1.25 hours commute time, 8 hours of sleep, an hour to get ready [...]
Well, I’m at 30,000 words, still a bit ahead but it’s going to get tougher. I knew I should never say things are going well.
I’m involved in a project at work that has a fixed deadline. And we just got told (tactfully, but not in a way you can say no) that we [...]
I’m halfway to the NaNoWriMo goal of 50,000 words in a month – two days ahead of time!
Now I just need to keep that buffer. Things like grocery shopping and real life seem to eat away at it quickly. But I’m in good shape.
I really think I’m going to do it. I [...]
Twenty three thousand words, almost halfway to my goal for the month, and I don’t know what happens next. Aacck! I just have to keep telling myself that this is a rough draft. It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect this time around. I can always restructure it.
And it’s allowed to suck
This weekend has really helped. I needed 16670 words to stay on track for today, and I just passed 21000. Things are going well although I think my story has taken a twist from where I expected it to go. I was going to strand my princess in a peasant village for a month or [...]
I’ve just passed 15,000 words. It took me about four years with a few days now and then to get around to writing that much on the last book… And this was just eight days.
I’m sure it will get harder but this has been helpful already. It helped me see that the key to [...]
