We’re six days into National Novel Writing Month right now, and I’ve got 16,217 words down, about six thousand ahead of the curve. Not too shabby, and I get to seem cool and competent (or at the least nerdy and obsessive) rather than pathetic. The actual book’s coming along decently, though, in typical Epic Fantasy fashion, it sprouted a few extra limbs and unwieldy new point of views.
Off to go write, now…
[I know I said I was doing this on Saturday, but I’m still sort of working out what day it fits best at.]
So long, and thanks for all the books

Let's do the math here, see how many words I got...
ReplyDeleteOh, just over a thousand.
Technically.
First idea, scrapped, attempt one: 505 words
Second idea, attempt one: 662 words
Second idea, attempt two: 993 words
Second idea, attempt three: 1375 words
Third idea, currently in progress: 1037 words
I am still not making proper progress, but I have run into a bit of an issue working graveyard shift five nights a week: I am always either asleep, falling asleep, or at work and that doesn't leave a lot of room for writing.
As it is, I pushed out that thousand words yesterday and by the end I was nodding off mid-sentence.
I just woke up. I am seriously considering going back to bed.
(I may have to eventually blog about those former two idea and why I eventually decided to drop them.)
