  Much better.

  11.13.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  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.

  11.13.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  You did… poorly

  11.08.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  NaNoWriMo 2007 day 6

  11.07.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  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 [...]

  The Lady Amanata Taiapetra

  11.05.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  This is The lady Amanata Taiapetra, who my ex-monk Betto has just met. He has Renzino, the rogue, with him, but as he’s unconscious, neither he nor Amanata know his name yet. They’ve also met up with Amanata’s maid, Milena, but I’ve not done a picture of her, yet. Did pretty well today, taking myself [...]

  NaNoWriMo 2007

  11.04.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  These are two of the characters I’m using for my 2007 National Novel Writing Month effort. One is a recently dismissed monk, from an island abbey with an extensive library; the other a thief, assassin, or possibly some other kind of ne’er-do-well, unjustly accused and persecuted. They’ve just been thrown together kind of suddenly; I’ve [...]

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.
