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