It took longer to get to the end of that final 2K session than I’d have liked especially with a job interview in about eight hours, but I managed it. The third session of the evening didn’t really kick off until 8pm; guess this really shows me I need to be typing as of 7 [...]
So, after this morning’s session, which ended just before noon, I got myself to officially half way – 25,000 words. Woohoo! And a day early, too. Because I didn’t start my third session until after 9pm, I only got 3000 words in today. I blame my sister Kate, who sent me a Facebook thing, so [...]
I started up again, around 7, and am now on 24,117. So, a 4K day, plus I got a lot more plotting done. I think I have connected all the dots all the way from the end to the beginning, and added (and even named!) a new important character. Betto and Lady Amanata are just [...]
Two sessions today thus far, 1K each, so I got a 2K day done, and it’s only 3. I’d vaguely like to get back to the 2K per day number (I’m about 3 days behind that), but I’m ahead of 1667, and I’ve still got time today to do some more plotting work.
Although I have posted no actual words today, I have done over a thousand words of plotting; not something I’d call an outline yet, but maybe with some more work. I actually have my bad guy, and my bad guy’s plan, which is a fair chunk of the battle. Up until recently, I knew my [...]
Well, not really. Yesterday, I did exactly zero, zip, nada. Add to that, Friday I only did about 1K. So I was three thousand words behind when I started, not counting today’s word count. And it turns out weekends are when I actually do other stuff. Not that I have that excuse for Saturday (or [...]
Got myself up to 16K – that writing session earlier in the day was very helpful. Decided not to push it, especially as I have a phone interview tomorrow. Renzino has opened his eyes and exchanged some banter with Betto. NaNoWriMo have also turned on their API, meaning one can now run Progress Widgets (one [...]
Officially Week Two. I got a fairly solid session in from about 12 onwards, so I’m up to 15K, leaving me only 1K later to get me back to the 2K/Day rate. I’ve done something I rarely manage to do – leave a scene that isn’t working with a “fix this later” tag, and gone [...]
Didn’t manage 2K today – don’t think I even got 1.667K like you’re supposed to. Same as yesterday, basically, except even worse, plus I have to get into town early tomorrow. Actually, that’s not even a workable excuse, as yesterday I got my 2K by this time. I’ve got 500+ words to make up for [...]
Well, I managed my 2K, but it was pretty close. I faffed about all morning and most of the afternoon, doing nothing; I really only started at 5, and it was all dribs and drabs until after 11. But I got there, in the end. I went back and added a mugging in a forest [...]
