Do NaNoWriMo

This weekend not only do I hope to write my 5-page-paper for Philosophy through Film (demoted from a 10-page-paper Yay!), but to play major catch-up for NaNoWriMo… I’ve kind of accepted that I probably will not “win” this year, my first year, but I WILL try to finish my novel by years end and try to get it published! December is a much more free month for me; November is probably the worst month for writing a novel for a college student!... Still constant vigilence! I will not let that be an excuse…

It looks like I missed NaNoWriMo this year, but I wanted to get the goal down now while I was thinking about it, so that I don’t forget in 2010!

after seventeen days of otherpeople exploding over my life and eating up my time whic I’d planned for a year, I’m now facing some serious problems with getting this done.

The two novels I started are serious and phylosophical, that’s brooding writing, that’s a slow process.

I need fast, shallow and fun. so I’m switching over the brunt of my work to some silly and maybe a bit of naughty fun stuff that won’t ever be seeing book shelves.

at this point it’s just to get back into writing and get past the drama and road blocks of the last two months. I may share one or two with online freinds.

I will occasionally add to the ones I started, and I still would like to edit and finish my previous works.

So I should at least get 50k by the months end, and maybe even 100k. I then plan on taking those lost 17 days out of the start of december.

Yes I’ll finish nano on time, but I am alsotrying my original intent to see if I can do 150k in 30 days.

Word count: 50,195

It’s not finished, but I’m calling ‘Do NaNoWriMo’ done.

There’ll be a new goal to take its place: finish the story, have it edited and ready for publishing as close to the first of the year as possible.

Writing all day today to reach my personal goal of 50,000 words by November 30th.

Must remember that my writing is valuable, if only to me.

Kindest regards,

Elle Lyzette

Total word count: 29,224

I think that’s the right word count; although I might actually be down 1,000 because I can’t remember if I updated the word count yesterday morning. But it’s all about quantity NOT quality.

I was hoping to finish by Thanksgiving, but I don’t know if it’s possible.

I am in the home stretch. Have to tie up some plot loose ends and have to kill off a character. Have to add one more big obstacle. Hmmm. I just have to keep writing.

I’m proud of me!

Didn’t get as far ahead for the weekend as I had hoped, but I am a little ahead so not as much catch up work next week.

My “Judas” character became a pacifist today, for the wrong reasons, but it’s a logical conclusion given what he knows.

Found out a fellow Wrimo on Twitter is also writing about apocalyptic angels, though judging from the excerpts his story is more of the kind of awesome instinctive multi-layered literary torte that people will end up studying in class for the next hundred years while mine is, well, “geek sundae”. But I’m OK with that. I enjoy tortes but I’m not interested in making them.

Via DM I listed some of the rules for my universe, I’m only going to list Number One here:

1. No good guys.

Hit 10,000 words yesterday. Unlikely to hit 50,000 by month’s end, but I’ll do what I can.

Spent listing fill in the blank scenes that need to be written and realized I’ve got two whole chapters left to write aside from those.

Even so, have reach 47, 001 words!
