• NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo 2007

  Okay. Back on track. Ish.

  Took Saturday off. Didn’t actually plan it, per se, but, well, there you go. Sunday; very, very tired. Very, very tired all day. No particular reason that I could tell, but that’s the way it was. Tried for a bit of a kip during the late afternoon, but it didn’t work too well. However, I [...]

  Epic fail.

  Somehow, doing 500-ish words feels worse than actually zero. I could blame the walk into town and back for the interview, which totally knackered me (and ate up both my two early writing sessions), Children In Need (but I only watched enough to catch the Doctor Who segment, which really wasn’t worth the wait) or [...]

  Another 4k day

  11.16.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  Half way, and a bit more.

  11.15.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  Much better.

  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 [...]

  Better.

  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.

  Zero words but some progress

  11.13.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  I love weekends

  11.12.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  Back on track.

  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 [...]

  Day 8, Half time

  11.08.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

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.
