I’m pretty happy. I did a lot of dicking around early in the evening, and this is after a 4:30 dental appointment that took forever (first cleaning in four years, but no cavities, hurrah!) and picking up windows at the hardware store. So I have the first two scenes written,…
Been fiddling around at the NaNoWriMo website today, and I write the synopsis for my planned NaNo novel. Thought I’d share it here just for fun: Chloe is Catholic, a cop, and conventional, not necessarily in that order. But when a run-of-the-mill burglary arrest goes bad, she ends up dead.…
I’ve got a huge long write-up of the Writers Police Academy I need to post, but in the meantime, I just want to register my excitement about NaNoWriMo tonight. I’ve been working on the main character since last week, and during the weekend at WPA I got some great ideas.…
I was having a conversation with megburden about this scene. It made up about ~3500 words out of the ~36k I managed from NaNo09, but this 1% turned out to change the course of a lot of the novel from here on out. The Goblin Market became a character of…
27378 / 50000 words. 55% done! Whew! The goblin market was a great idea yesterday, and the magic hat and gloves was a great idea today. From now on I’m going to put on my magic hat if I get stuck. I know it’ll get me unstuck. I had a…
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*…
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*
