NaNo is long since over and my goals for the month were not met, but I have very few regrets. I wrote more than I did last year, and I have since revisited the tale, so all is not lost. I still have the outline, and I am still enthusiastic about telling the story ( Read more... )

I skipped yesterday because I wasn't feeling too great at all. Today's writing went pretty well, if still bleah-tastic. Thank you for all your encouragement in telling me not to worry about quality. It's difficult, but I've been able to do it. The scene was *finally* completed today at damn near 5,000 words, so I'll post that this evening. I also ( Read more... )

Little late in posting this. Today (or yesterday now) went well enough as far as quantity is concerned. Quality is, of course, another matter. The scene still isn't finished... 3500 words and counting. I hope to finish it today. Happy Friday. ;)

Lack of sleep is a killer. Met my word count again today, if I can meet it tomorrow I'll already be in longer than last year. (That's rather sad) I keep having to tell myself over and over that it's okay to write a first draft that sucks. Bad. No. Really bad. My self needs some more convincing. I've decided to post by the scene only, so if a scene ( Read more... )

Today was a day for sucky fiction! My keyboard started sticking, I was tired and cranky, I didn't finish the entire scene, but I *did* finish my word count. Quite frankly, today's bit of writing is choppy, distracted, and meh. But I'm posting it anyway, and resisting the urge to hack away at it. *twitch* Here's hoping tomorrow is easier.

... so far. That's past my daily word count, but it was relatively easy to write, so I may end up writing more tonight. Much to my surprise I was able to stretch the first scene into 2000 words and I will be posting it in its entirety for the reading group to take a glance at. This is only part of the first chapter... I think. Unless I can fluff ( Read more... )

Okay maybe not. Happy day before Nano! Or Halloween, I guess. ;) I hope everyone is ready for this... I'm still trying to get over my apprehension ( Read more... )

Well, this morning I faced a dillema. With a biology paper and an english paper due this week, plus character backstory I need to get done for WoW and an article for Vision, (and the fact that I am getting burned out) I decided it would be best to stop before the 30th. One week, crunch time ( Read more... )

Well I did manage to find something to do for the last six days, and yes... it's character related again. Reason I did this is because for one... it's pretty straight-forward. And for another, it takes up all six days if I can't do anything else. Thank you to benwrites for responding to my post. :) I will try my very best to add that in one of the days, but ( Read more... )
