Today was going to be my 5,000-word day. It had to be. I really wanted to be caught up to 25k by the end of the weekend, but I spent all yesterday doing genealogy of my main character since I needed to know who was alive when in order to…
17561 / 50000 words. 35% done! I’m traveling on historically shaky ground tonight, because I don’t know much about the Roaring Twenties. But I had a good writing day. 3,739 words just today! Also, the formatting is a little strange because I’m writing in Q10, which saves files as .txt.…
10377 / 50000 words. 21% done! Woohoo! I earned my “Procrastination” NaNoWriMo Merit Badge over the weekend by cleaning instead of working on the novel while skipping writing for three days in a row. Today I earned my “Secret Noveling” badge by writing at work. Yes, yes, I know. *cough*…
I’m not even talking about today, because I haven’t written yet today. I took yesterday off. I had a headache and was exhausted and just decided not to stress over it. I have the weekend ahead of me and that’s my best writing time for NaNo. Of course, I woke…
I’m going to the write-in at the 56th and Lafayette Starbucks tonight. I’ve never done one of these before, but since I fell behind last night, I decided it would be a good idea. Heh. Actually I wanted to do one last year but didn’t ever make it happen. This…
4349 / 50000 words. 9% done! I actually wrote about 3500 of those yesterday in the car on the way home from vacation. Thank goodness someone else was driving! LOL Today I wrote the rest in the carpool on the way home. I tried to write more when I got…
So I had been planning to write the fourth book in the Regent’s Castle series this year for NaNo. This would involve lots of research into Illinois history, because I’m planning to weave in white settlement, Native American threads, and European ideas of Faerie, and hopefully along the way come…
There were times I wasn’t sure what I was doing, and I will never again change horses mid-stream during November, but I have validated my novel! In the course of validating, I always scramble my text, because I am an uber-paranoid nerd. It was so much fun seeing character names…
Oh man, I finally actually went to bed around 10 (added a lot more to my word count though!) and got up at one point during the day to use the toilet, get some water, check my email, then I collapsed again until 6. And now I can’t move my…
50610 / 50000 words. 101% done! Now I’m going to go to sleep. *FLOMP*
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.
