YAAAAAAY! I just officially caught up to where I’m supposed to be and even passed it! It’s a good thing, because I had completely forgotten I made plans for November 30. Of course, there’s still a good chance I’ll skip those plans so I can finish the novel. I’m getting…
Still writing…
Aka “Write, bitch! Write!” Managed to sneak in some writing at work today. Earned that “Secret Noveling” merit badge. Yippee. It’s always strange to be writing about a minority culture that I’m not part of. I grew up with kids whose parents spoke only Spanish, so I’m not exactly writing…
Broke the dreaded 30k today. I’m still 5,000 words behind, but that’s okay. I wrote over 5,000 words today, so I can still catch up. LOL Dumped some frustration and angst on my min character today. Also a Stunning Revelation, and a moment of UST. Still having fun. I hope…
I officially crossed the halfway mark tonight. I know I’m still three days behind, but I think I can catch up by Sunday night at the latest. I hit some sad, heavy backstory stuff tonight as I wrote. I hope it wasn’t too much infodump, but there hasn’t been a…
WOOHOO!!! I have revised my graphs down to 50k instead of 75k, because I’m going to keep hoping for 75k but right now I just want to catch up with where I should be for 50. I made a lot of progress tonight! Just over 4300 words, and if I…
So I’ve been stalled here for the past four days: I did all kinds of plotting on Friday. I scratched out about 10 words Saturday. Didn’t even try Sunday. Didn’t try last night. Gave the novel to microgirl8225, who’s been awesome at kicking me back into gear in the past.…
Whew! Thanks to wordwars with microgirl8225, mingsmommy, kyrdwyn, cuspofqueens, and severity_softly, I was able to add a LOT of words tonight. I’m back above where I need to be to get my 50,000 in. I’ve been using 75k as my target, but if I went with 50k my graph would…
My NaNo tip for the day: When in doubt, burn someone’s house down. You learn all kinds of things about a character when their house is on fire. I am still feeling upbeat about this novel and loving these characters. But I really really need to learn that surfing LJ,…
Managed my word count and Criminal Minds both. Introduced the love interest, who threw me a curveball plotwise. And now I really need to go to bed. I hope this is still funny.
I'll never share your information with anyone else. You'll get fortnightly emails from me about what I'm working on, and every once in a while I send out exclusive freebies to my email list.
