I won I won!!

I won!

Last one?

I swear, I swear... I'll stop posting these. But I gave myself the challenge of making my way up to 20K in a half hour. That amounted to a little over 1100 words, which I made and then kept going to beat, since I was halfway through a paragraph. :D

First milestone!

Another NaNo post, but hey, it's pretty much all I've been doing lately.


I beat 10K last night! Which means I'm only a little over 3K behind. My goal for today is to get caught up for once, though it may be hard since I'm starting a whole new section in a whole new area, which means I have a lot of things that need defined. Will be fun though. I've been working towards this point since I introduced my second character practically. :D


Random art time! I drew this a few days ago. It's sort of one of the scenes I've written. There's a few differences of course. They ought to be sitting. They ought to be rather dirty and rumpled by now. They have been underground for a while now after all.





It's supposed to be a tunnel, not a hallway, by the way.


And because it's fun, I decided to write up a little survey about NaNo for you all. Feel free to use and pass around all you want.



Your Most Common:
Beverage: Green tea or Green tea with mint
Music: Brad Pasley's "Play" cd (mostly instrumentals), various assorted favorite (country) songs, and some random music I found online that helps set the mood for some of my scenes.
Clothing: PJs
Time of Day: Late at night. So late in fact, that I might as well change my timezone on my profile.


Do You:
Let people read what you've written? Short excerpts...sometimes. But no one gets to read the whole thing until it's edited to the point it no longer embarasses me.
Read your story from the beginning? Once. I more likely read through from the beginning of a scene to help get my mind back into the right mood.
Edit? Only stuff that's going to drive me nuts, like attrocious spelling errors or really badly phrased things.
Write notes for yourself in the story? Nope! I want my word count to only reflect the story, which also means no chapter/section titles.

I'm getting faster!

I promise to stop filling up my posts with these random word count buttons, but it's a sign that I'm getting a little faster at spilling out thoughts. Most words in less time this go around, and that's even with being interrupted a few times. :D

NaNo Update

Chugging along, though a bit behind in the count. NaNo is a ton of fun though. Current Word Count: 5353

Ran into some writers block today... Which is partly because I'd somehow gotten into a boring rut in a boring cave. To the point where my character was counting the pebbles she passed simply to pass the time. So I collapsed the cave roof and made it flood. Nothing smacks you out of a rut like random danger.

Also, I gave myself the challenge of writing 1000 words as fast as I could. Thanks to Write or Die, I made it in under an hour. :D




Thank you Write or Die, for helping me move my plot along some. My character has gone from being knocked unconcious and under water to being warm and well by a fire. :)
