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, [...]

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 [...]

COD Update: Day One Done!!

Ok, lately I’ve been writing at night after everyone goes to bed.  But I have some time to myself this afternoon and it’s the first day of NaNoWriMo and I’ve been rarin’ to go, so I had to jump in and write something.
 I did my first two scenes for a total count of 1685.  How [...]

Word Count Goals

I apologize for this post.  It’s just for my reference, and handy place to post this for me.  These are my daily goals for NaNoWriMo and Sweat2.  1667 a day during November, and 1K a day after that with a few days off.  It’s here so that I can check up on myself and where [...]
