NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 27
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 …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 21
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 …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 18
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 …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 17
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 …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day…where are we now?
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. …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 7
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 …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 4
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, …
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 3
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.
NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 2
Not bad, but not great. I still made forward motion, and I definitely got a better handle on Jason and Martin, who are secondary characters to Chloe. I decided to keep the first person POV, because that really gives Chloe a lot of her voice. Plus it’s sort of the …
