  NaNoWriMo 2008 day 1

  11.01.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Yeah, well. I started okay, what with not having the faintest idea of what to write this year.  Got up early, fired up my work computer, and wrote some outline. So far so good. But unfortunately, my work computer, running Ubuntu, can’t detect the onboard sound card, which means I can’t listen to any music [...]

  What I did this week.

  I believe I have mentioned my love of Shadow Unit. It’s currently in hiatus, having finished Season One, and so some of us fans have decided to take advantage of the writers’ generous fan fiction policy to create a Round Robin fic. I just finished up my section, section 3, and the feedback’s been good [...]

  Well, I didn’t spend quite as much time as I intended on the guitar this morning – there was a certain amount of fiddling to get my computer to listen to my guitar again (despite nothing having changed for ages). I’m not even sure what I did to make it work! I’m currently working on [...]

  Still alive

  12.03.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  No Internet access at home, so I’m now hiking up to the local library in order to get my daily fix. Maybe some regular out-of-the-house time will be good for me? Work continues on my NaNoNovel, even though November is over. I’m currently back in the outlining stage, as it turns out I didn’t do [...]

  Still going!

  I may have completed the NaNoWriMo challenge, but that’s no reason to stop now! I put in 4000 words today (actually 4002) in total, and am moving the plot along (I hope). Hopefully, I’ll continue at a good rate, although Fridays and Weekends are generally not that good for me, historically. Tomorrow, I go to [...]

  Woohoo!

  At approximately 16:53:38 on 22 November 2007, I passed 50K on my NaNo, thus winning NaNoWriMo 2007. That is all.

  Eep!

  Only did 4K today, but that’s because I had to go into town during what would normally be writing session #2. I tried a new word processor, q10, which is very basic – as it’s deliberate, I suppose I should say minimalist. The main selling point is a full-screen orange-on-black set-up, designed to remove all [...]

  5K day!

  Well, that was cool. I did three 1K sessions – well, I fell asleep in the third one after about 500 words. Oops. But it all meant that it was pretty easy to end up with a pretty huge total by the end of my evening session. Strangely, the last session went so well I’m [...]

  Day 19 Part Three… guess I forgot to blog Part Two.

  11.19.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Part Two occurred, not at its accustomed hour of 12:30 – 2, due to renewing my lease, but 4pm to 5pm, which may be a new addition to the routine. Hm. We shall see. Part Three took from 7ish onwards. As I’m not paying 100% attention, it takes a lot longer to get the last [...]

  Day 19 Part One

  11.19.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Successfully done my morning session, and clocked in about 1400 words, which I’m pleased about. And I’ve finally started writing about magic, which I find is good in a fantasy novel. The plan is to do another session starting about 12:30 ish until 2, which should net me at least another K or so. Then [...]

Musings of a Creative Slacker

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.
