NaNoWriMo Day One pt 2

Having an outline set up is great, really allows me to move forward without worrying about where I'm going next. So far  I've gotten 5,249 words done and I have a brief bit hand written. I'll type it up later. I love to get ahead start early on so that I can slack off later, and then panic at the end...works well...kinda.

The working title of the story is "Retirement and The Wooden Nickle Motel".  Its a Urban Fantasy, with romance...kinda.  Anyway, it should be fun to write.

NaNoWriMo Day One!

Just checked my account! Holly crap! I so should have done this yesterday! Gahhhhh!.

Ah well, I got my outline done, and now all I have to do is get it typed up. Shouldn't be too bad...right?

I Won, but just bearly...

Trust me, it ain't pretty or coherent, and it;s not complete. The Manuscript was always supposed to be around 150k, so I still have about 100k left to go. When I saw that I was going to tank, I stopped trying to write in scene order and just wrote the scene I knew. I will admit the yWriter5 helped immensely in this. So the 50k that I posted is jumbled, confusing, and riddled with misspellings and awful grammar, but it is 50k long. actually I think its 57k long, but in editing I imagine I will cut like 10k of that. ah well. two years now, I've won, go me!

Day Sixteen 22000

WAHHHHHH I'm over 6,000 words behind!!!! I guess I'm gonna have to take my computer to work just so I can get my word count up. Grrr, I wanted to avoid that, but I guess I don't focus enough when I get home. I mean, I would stay up and work more, but I now have a real job and I have to be up around five am. Wish I was a real writer, then I could make my own schedule and get up at noon and work till 3 am if I wanted too. *pout*

Ah well, maybe soon. 6,000 isn't impossible to get through, I just need to make an effort to write on the weekends. I know I can squirrel an hour in Saturday morning and one in on Sunday night. That should help significantly.

Day Twelve 18,765

I tried, but just can't quite make it. but I'm only 1300 words shy, so its not all bad. And considering I've had a rough week, plus I start a job Monday, its not bad at all. Honestly I'm doing pretty good, and I will probably go back over some scene's tomorrow, bolstering my word count. Also, I've got three chapters done. so far so good. This keeps up and I am going to clean it up in December and start submitting it to my writer's group in Jan.

Day Eleven 16,140

I am behind about 5,000 words, so if I could just get through an entire chapter today, I should be pretty much caught up. I know I said that yesterday, but today, I gotta do it...must write!

Way behind but catching up

I fell way behind the last few days. Migraines will do that to a person. However, if I can get this whole chapter done today, then I will be all caught up. I’m only 3500 words away from being on target, and if I can pound out a chapter I will be roughly 3000 words ahead again. This will be nice since I’m starting a job Monday. Anyway, back to work then.
