NaNo Day 13: 30,011
Not a lot, but when you don’t get started before 10 pm and you’re tired, you take what you can get. I dragged it to the next “k”, and I’m happy with that.

That’s 2,865 words for today. Since work is slated to be a bear this week, it leaves me with a little cushion.

Back on track. That’s 5,286 words today. Lots and lots of garbage words, but I’ve made excellent progress in some of the research I was doing — alas, not the Zen stuff. If I can manage a similar day tomorrow, I’ll be in hog heaven. Next week at work promises … Continue reading →
Annoyances
I wandered over to Panera for breakfast and to write this morning. When I got here, it was quiet. I found my favorite seat next to the fireplace and window and set up, prepared to relax. As I was engaged in today’s research (Zen — I hear people talk about … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 10: 21,030
That’s 3,613 words today. It took me far too long to amass that total. I just finished, and I started at around nine this morning. I’m not efficient enough. I have been doing some extensive researching and realized at least one option I thought I had is probably a bridge … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 9: 17,417
According to where I need to be at this point, I’m running about 3,000 words behind. If I have a good writing weekend, I’ll catch up. But 1807 words in a day is nothing to sneeze at, so I’m happy.

That’s 1696 for today. All written at Panera with my other local NaNoWriMoer typing away across the coffee table from me. She’s ahead of me by about 1500 words I think. This is her second NaNo, and she topped out at around 12,000 words last year, so I’m proud of … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 7: 13,914
Before I litanize the word count, Nienke’s raised some interesting questions. NaNoWriMo is about writing a 50,000 word novel. In theory, that should be a work of fiction. But the rules are 50,000 new words and the verifier only counts words. It’s designed to help people who’ve never written that … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 6: 12,445
Only 421 really bad words tonight. I feel achy and tired. I’m going to knock off and shift to the laptop. I make no promises about getting anything more written, though.

Rattling around clicking out words. Nothing new on characters or plot today, but theme exploration is coming nicely — remember, this year’s NaNo is all about regularity. Writing regularly. Finding my way. Given some of the headlines, it shouldn’t come as too large a surprise that one of the themes … Continue reading →
