Nano/COD Update: Day 10

No new stats to report.  Someday, maybe I’ll learn how to handle writing and my brain chemistry, but after beating myself up pretty good the other day, I’ve just taken a break. 
I figured out that if I wrote 2K per day from now on I would still make it.  That sort of made me feel [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 8

I did another little bit this afternoon.  Officially I’m at 11580, although I’ve got another 500 or so words written in the scene I’m currently (not) working.
I got an email from a municiple liason today in which she talked about Week Two and how it’s said to be the hardest week of Nano.  She said, [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 7

So my update for yesterday.  Hard hit by the plague, and even though I had to spend most of the day being still so I could keep breathing, I didn’t get much writing done.  It should have been a good time to get ahead, but I just couldn’t think straight. 
 By the end of the day, [...]

WIP Clip Wednesday: No Politics at the Table

So our heroine, Colby, sailed into town to recruit our hero, Mac, into the organization for which she works.  Since Mac’s coworkers had just been talking about his long-time girlfriend, Grace, whom none of them have ever met, they assumed Colby was Grace.  To fill in the gap where Mac should have stepped in and [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 6

You know, I like to write in scenes.  I write from beginning to end and then I’m wiped.
So it seems to be a bit of an issue that scenes for me are rarely more than 1600 words.
Anyway, 1632 today to total 10009.  That makes me happy.  My heroine told the hero why she was there, [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 5

I just wrote that scene I wanted to write last night.  I put in a bunch of political stuff that should hopefully be interesting to the reader, sort of explains what’s going on, shows off more of who the characters are, both to the reader and to each other. 
I’m really happy about that, and that [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 4

I got some time to myself this afternoon and I just passed today’s goal.  So I was happy.  I figured that tonight I could get ahead some more.  But frankly, I’m very sleepy.  It’s not coming to me, and my DD’s got a cold, so I think she’s going to wake me up…again.  So I’m [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 3

Such exciting post titles for me lately.
So, what did we learn today.  Well, I learned the following:

One cannot intimidate the Nano site with how many times in a row one can hit refresh.  It doesn’t care.  It is not impressed.
When making icing, don’t just put in the listed ingredients, pay attention to the consistency.  It’s [...]

Nano/COD Update: Day 2

Ugh.  I just crawled through a patch of guy talk to introduce my hero.  The heroine just walked onstage and put me out of my misery, thank goodness.  But I know I’ve hit the point where I need to go to bed and I’m not going to do good work, so I’m going to stop [...]

COD Update: Day One Part 2

I sat down for my regular evening writing session and added another 1264 for a total of 2949 for Day 1.  Yay!  I had outlined three scenes for myself in a pretty detailed fashion to get myself started.  All used up now.  Tomorrow I guess I have to work harder.  But that’s ok.  I need [...]
