• NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo 2006

  Well, that was unexpected.

  I kind of thought I wouldn’t be getting much done today, as I’d wasted a couple of hours trying to hook up my nice new monitor (it’s reasonably easy to get a bargain when the other person opens with “It’s either that or I bin it”). Hooking it up was the easy bit – what [...]

  Day off. Sort off.

  All those nights going to bed at midnight instead of eleven are beginning to catch up with me. I was planning to take today entirely off (seeing as I have over five thousand words of lead), but it appears that even when I’m knackered, have no real outline and plan to slack off, I still [...]

  End of Week 1

  2099 is my total today, and all in by midnight. Go me. I’ve done a fair amount of outliney work, but I still have a problem in that where I am now is still a fair way from where my real outline starts. I’ve got some very vague notes, like “And then things happen which [...]

  Today I shall mostly be watching…

  …Monkey Business, on Discovery Animal Planet. And as it’s about a Chimpanzee rescue centre, I can count it as research! Yes!

  Close but… well, who needs a cigar, anyway?

  I was a whole 7 words short of my 2000 words today – but I think I can live with it. The main thing was to get everything in before the midnight deadline, so my NaNoWriMo progress report actually corresponds to the amount I wrote in any given day! Well, that’s the idea, but I [...]

  Sunday, Lazy Sunday

  11.06.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Again, I didn’t really start until 6pm, and again I didn’t really get that much outline done. However, I still managed to get my 2000 words in, and that was despite a really interesting Time Team special about a Roman Circus (huge chariot-racing stadium) in Colchester, and The Fellowship of The Ring being shown on [...]

  An inefficient use of a Saturday

  11.05.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Well, I didn’t get as much done as I’d like – in the end, I didn’t get started until 6pm, which is about when I start on a weekday. So strangely enough, I got about the same done as I would have on a weekday. I blame television; not the actual television being broadcast, but [...]

  Ooops

  11.04.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  I didn’t do my main update until after Midnight – which means that my wordcount now looks like I did pants on Day three… and the 877 words that clocked over to Day four will almost certainly be swamped by what I hope to be a productive Saturday. I’m so very disappointed… I’ve also come [...]

  Day 2

  11.03.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Well, less of an estimate today, as I brought my notepad back with me this time! It looks like I was about 30-40 words less than I thought I was, but that’s just set me up for more today! 2719 today, which puts me over 1.5k ahead. That’s nearly a day! I’ve been wanting to [...]

  End of Day 1

  11.02.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Well, that’s Day 1 of NaNoWriMo ’06 done. My total is a bit of an estimate at the moment – I wrote an estimated 456 words during my lunch hour (not bad considering interruptions – including making sandwiches), and then a further 1559 tonight, coming to 2015 for the first day. It’s still an estimate, [...]

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.
