I’m past the half-way point. Most of today’s words are “garbage” words. Filler to get the count up. But I’m also trying to find a spark for the story. What could I possibly do with it that may bring it some redemption? Zette suggested retelling the story from another character’s … Continue reading →
Got it done. Badly, but it’s done. This is the first manuscript I’ve ever worked on that I couldn’t wait to finish it so I could delete it. I find that pretty funny.
Continue reading →That’s enough for today. I’ve finished the first pass through the novel. Now I’m going back to the beginning and trying to flesh out the thin scenes there.
Continue reading →That puts me at half-way for NaNoWriMo but not quite half-way for a book with a word count goal of 60k. I had fun with the character rebellion yesterday, and that helped move the story along. I’m at the usual point where I have to wonder why I ever thought … Continue reading →
There we have it. Two thousand words today. Well, forty words shy. No matter. My characters rebelled and plotted my assassination. They took matters into their own hands and performed unspeakable acts with one another. Apparently, they were completely dissatisfied with my handling of things. That’s fine. I am completely … Continue reading →
That’s approximately 1,000 words for the day. Half of the daily goal, but I’m just not into it, and I’m ready to hit the hay. I’m still ahead of schedule by a little, so I’m not going to worry about it. This redundant drivel isn’t getting any better, but it … Continue reading →
Met the goal for today. Bringing the cumulative total to 20, 276 words of pure, unadulterated drudgery. But at least there’s no adultery going on in this story. I do have a reluctant heroine who had a past situation that makes her reluctant in romance, but she’s decided she wants … Continue reading →
I hadn’t specifically planned to write today, but I didn’t want to fall behind, so I logged slightly more than 2,000 words today to bring the cumulative total to 16,233. That is all.
Continue reading →Met today’s goal. I wrote what should be one of the more interesting scenes in the book today, but it still feels flat. I’ll keep pushing through. As they say, you can’t edit a blank page, and maybe some inspiration will settle in at some point. I’m not likely to … Continue reading →
Got the 2k plus a very few to spare for today. I’m at the usual place I find myself — thinking how droll this whole story is. It’s a romance with no romance. Serious problems. Blah, blah, blah. Usual stuff. Oh, well. Keep writing.
