NaNo Day 21: 51,170
Just a little section to bring Jeff and Nicole chronologically to the same point in their lives as Nikki. They have frustrations of their own, though.

I needed to finish out the scene. I think I’ve found a comfortable stopping place.

NaNo 2005 is complete. Three days earlier than last year. I can’t believe how quickly words rolled off my fingers today. Nikki hit rock bottom today. I guess looking at your 30th birthday and realizing you’re everyone’s sex toy will to that for you. Before that, Jeff experienced Nicole’s first … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 19: 44,155
Long day. Meant to stop at 43.5k, but I had a spurt of words pop out, so I figured I better catch them while they were flowing. In case you’re counting, that was 5143 words for today. I’ll get as many as I can tomorrow. 5845 to reach 50k. It’s … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 18: 39,012
I tapped out 2187 words today to slightly exceed my 2k per day goal. I achieved 50k during last year’s NaNo on November 23rd. I’m beginning to wonder if I could beat that date this year. I have a couple unrelated things to do this weekend, but I can put … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 17: 36, 825
Words didn’t come easily, but they did come. 1669 words today, so its a good NaNo day. I think the words are keepable. Nikki’s interning for the fall semester of her senior year, and she’s expected to conduct herself in a more professional manner than she’s been accustomed to for … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 16: 35,156
Wasn’t one of my better writing days, but at least some of the 1670 words I forced myself to capture in the bit bucket called my NaNo manuscript have some coherence to them. I am pleased to be over 35k, though. To other NaNoers out there, keep writing. Any words … Continue reading →
Fresh & Interesting Material
That’s right! I completely forgot I’m supposed to think up “fresh and interesting stuff” every day. I’m sorry–all you’ve been getting is dull, dry NaNo word counts. Something else must have been happening, right? I suppose it has. I’ll see if I can find anything… My dog has been ecstatic … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 15: 33,486
260 words today. Having a little trouble focusing tonight. Maybe tomorrow will go better.
Continue reading →NaNo Day 14: 33,226
Yes, you read that right. I wrote 6,023 words today–most of them expanded outline, so they will require extensive revision. Some of them are already commented for deletion, but I’m certain you all know you don’t delete words during NaNo! My goal is to finish on or before the 23rd. … Continue reading →
