Another 2,500+ words today, continuing one of yesterday’s scenes. That may need to be split into two scenes. It got a bit longer than I’d imagined. I’m not yet sure how much of the last 20,000+ words will end up in the final story, but at least it’s progressing now. […]
NaNoWriMo
A much better writing day today, with over 3,000 words done thanks to two different scenes. Finally, both main characters have got to grips with their part of the story and everything’s starting to come together. Thanks to writing over 3,000 words today, I’m over a full day ahead of […]
NaNo Day 10
As planned, today turned out to be a better day for word count. Over 2,000 words today for a fun scene (or as much fun as slavery can be) which brought together two key elements of the story. I’ve been agonising how to make that happen for the last few […]
NaNo Day 9
After pulling ahead yesterday, today I’ve dropped down to target. The good news is that I’ve had a good plotting session about how all the various story parts come together. That should make the next several thousand words come together much quicker. Wordcount : 13,411 / 50,000 Target : 13,333
NaNo Day 8
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 […]
NaNo Day 7
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
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
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
Can you believe that there was a time before the iPad? With its 10-hour battery life, it should be the ideal tool for the month of NaNoWriMo, particularly when used with a Bluetooth keyboard. Whether it will be enough for thumping out 50,000 words in 30 days is something I’ll […]
