NaNoWriMo

I can do this. I’m at 16,209 which is good. The story is interesting, I think. It’s a thriller. I’m THRILLED!!!

Whew, this pace is great.

I need a catch up day but I have been so busy lately. I know that I can catch up, but it makes the face fret when you look at the chart that shows the “pace” graph and you are so far below it. Baby steps forward! Baby steps forward!

I actually just scrapped my story and started a new one, not because I didn’t like what I was writing, but it just felt…hollow? I guess. I don’t know. I really like the idea for that story, but I like it so much that I want to really take my time with it and make it right. The new one though, is completely from the hip, which I think is more in the NanoWriMo spirit. And it’s more my writing style, well, not like you guys would think, lol. Not much sarcasm or wit in this one. It’s actually quite deep. A love story of sorts, though not the type you might think. I’ll post it once I know where it’s going, and then you guys can get a feel for what I mean. Until then…good luck, and happy NanoWrimO!!!

so. far. behind…

I was unsure if I would be able to do this, but looking at the progress I am impressed that I am doing well. I have hit above the daily goals and made sure that I padded my word counts in case I have an off day. The story is coming along well and I can see that I can stretch the tale out to 50000 words. Yay!

Ok, so I’m off to a pretty good start here. I’ve worked through a good deal of the story in my head over the past couple of days, and researched some factual obscurities I felt I should know, and now I’m off and typing. The intro came together pretty good so far. The hardest part of it was deciding on the first words. Once I got that down, the rest just kind of came together as I went, which is good, because I wasn’t sure how to begin the plot. What I’ve come up with a great in that it’s exactly the kind of setting and intro that I had hoped for, and allows me to connect a few scenes that I knew must be in the story but wasn’t sure how to get them there. I can already see there are stilla few things I’m going to have to go and backtrack on, and add more content to them so that the reader has the back story that I have in my head, but for now, I’m quite happy with what I’ve got, plus, as I write I kind of discover things that need to be followed up on as I go, so the story is kind of telling itself to me, even as I’m telling the story to itself. I think it’s much the same as song writing with me. I don’t write the song, I just find a piece of it floating around in my head and the songs guides me with where I’m supposed to go. Ok, gotta go.

NaNoWriMo!

The 1666 per day are going by really fast. This novel is coming out effortlessly. I’m more than thrilled, I’m inspired!!!!!

And it’s just Day 2! I’m quite pleased. Hopefully this trend continues. I like where my work is going, though it’s just begun.

4200 to end the day.

The first line just came to me. So I decided to go for it. Even though it’s November 2 and I’m one day behind. Might as well write as much as I can right now while the idea is fresh. Get ahead, maybe, even? Anyway, I need to write 2,150 more words by 5:30 p.m. today. I hope this isn’t a fantasy. I’m so excited to embark on this journey again. I did it on my own last December, so it would be really neat to officially do NaNoWriMo this year.

I have an idea for what I’m going to write… but not much more than that. Man, this is going to be tough, but if I can force myself to do it, it might just pay off. I’m really excited by the idea of the story, but it’s the whole pesky little plot thing that I’m not too sure about…
