NaNoWriMo2012 draws to a close, and I’ve managed to do 15,000+ words over the target. It’s not the first time I’ve exceeded the NaNo target, but it’s the first time I’ve done it without really knowing where the story was going. As luck would have it, I now know where […]
Monthly archives: November 2012
Still managing to hit my daily word count. It’s now time to validate, to “prove” that I’ve written over 50,000 words. My validation tool of choice is to use yWriter‘s “Nanowrimo Obfuscated Text” tool. This is a feature in yWriter that creates a text file of all your words and […]
NaNoWrimo 2012, Day Twenty-Five
I’ve crossed the 50,000 word line. These last few days have been hectic. Life does that sometimes. I’ve only been able to write in very small chunks at the end of the day, just barely squeezing out my daily target. I wasn’t expecting expecting to cross the line tonight. I […]
NaNoWrimo 2012, Day Twenty-Two
I don’t know where I’m finding the time from or, indeed, the words, but I’ve just limped across the line to 30,000 words. That puts me about five days ahead of schedule now. As far as the story is concerned, certain aspects of it are starting to decide what they […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Thirteen
Somehow I managed over 4,000 words today. Don’t ask me how. I guess I should be thankful to Rebecca for, just this once, playing the team game and getting involved in the story. I think she’s been taking lessons from some of my secondary characters of recent stories. I’m aiming […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Eleven
Okay, maybe I could have done several thousand words today and got myself to the half-way point but, foolishly, I decided to do a 16 mile walk instead. It didn’t exactly get the creativity flowing, but I’m sure it’s done wonders for my recent lack of exercise. I have managed […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Nine
Averaging just over 2,000 words a day at the moment so I’m managing to keep almost two days ahead of schedule. Today’s 2,009 words were helped in no small way by writing over 700 words on my Android phone. I’m using Textmaker, part of the Softmaker Office for Android – […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Eight
Too little time in the day, but at least the words are flowing a little better now. I only seem to be able to find the last hour of the day in which to get anything written. When the words don’t want to play, the target is difficult to achieve. […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Seven
The first few days have been a bit of a struggle. No time and no real idea how the story is going to hang together. The last couple of thousand words came a little easier, though. Just give someone a little hardship and now I’m a day in front. Yay! […]
NaNoWriMo 2012, Day Six
1,056 in the first hour of NaNoWriMo. Only 48,944 to go. Those Who Would Die begins as expected with the robbery. The first scene concentrates on introducing the two newest characters while reintroducing Sebastian. This segment is his story from several years ago. I think I’ve been watching too much […]
