At last, I’ve been able to pull ahead slightly – all thanks to one of my supporting characters. She did this earlier in the story, and now she’s taking charge again now that it’s proving a bit difficult to do more than the target word count every day. I’m not […]
I haven’t been able to do as much this weekend as I’d originally expected, but I have managed to keep on target. Wordcount : 10,222 / 50,000 Target : 10,000 Onwards and upwards!
NaNo Day 6
Had hoped to get more done today. Wordcount : 8,627 / 50,000 Target : 8,333 Fortunately, I did finally discover the key to the end of one of the major plot points today. That should bode well for future word counts.
NaNo Day 5
Almost ran out of time today, but just made it a little over-target in the last hour. Wordcount : 6,891 / 50,000 Target : 6,667 I hope to pull ahead over the weekend.
NaNo Day 4
Found a little time to catch up on my shortfall today. Wordcount : 5,021 / 50,000 Target : 5,000 Back on target and ready to head into the weekend, if my characters take it upon themselves to let me know where they want to take their paths in the story […]
NaNo Day 3
This morning saw the delivery of the latest print of Murder! at Etheridge Hall, book 2 of the series. It runs to 297 pages and 102,784 words. I finalised the new cover design on Saturday, ordered the new print on Monday, and it arrives on Thursday. I couldn’t have printed […]
The Finished Book #2
Just managed to squeeze in a couple more words today. Wordcount : 1,763 / 50,000 Target : 3,334 Falling a little behind, but I’m not worried yet.
NaNo Day 2
NaNoWriMo 2011 has begun! This is my first wordcount of the month : 529 / 50,000 words. Any more will have to wait until I’m awake…
And so it begins…
…or maybe I meant to say “NaNoWriMo”. There’s an unwritten planetary law that goes something like “the amount of work that needs doing prior to NaNoWriMo is inversely proportional to the number of days left until NaNoWriMo starts”. Kind of like, the closer NaNo gets, the more that needs doing […]
12 Hours ’til Doomsday
Out with the old, in with the new. The old cover for Murder! at Etheridge Hall received some very positive comments, but I feel it’s time to bring this book into the same style as the others in the series. The new cover fits in with the rest of the […]
A New Day, A New Cover
I knew all those years of working on websites wouldn’t be wasted. I’ve just figured out how to get my blog’s header graphic to randomly choose one of seven different images when you change page. Okay, so maybe little things please little minds and maybe I have a very little […]
A little PHP is dangerous…
In this age of technology and ebooks, traditional books often suffer. The only way for them to be affordable is to be published by a traditional publishing house, which requires your novel to fulfill certain criteria – particularly in the sense of genre. These days there are POD (Print On […]
