NaNo: Day 17

Posted November 17, 2010 under Entertainment, Writing | Tagged: , , | 2 Comments

So it’s the 17th of November, aka day 17 of NaNo. I have yet to start writing for today (it’s 10.41am) and currently my total is 21 250.

I’m aware that I am behind on NaNo, but I am not bothered by this at all. Last year I only reached 25 000 words in the entire month, so being nearly there in just over half that time makes me feel really really good about myself. I wrote about 2000 words yesterday, which helped catch up a little.

In other news, I got a $10 discount voucher from MightyApe to use for my birthday. I promptly pre-ordered The Vampire Diaries on DVD. :) I got up to about episode seven, then missed about four and it just became a hassle trying to catch up. With about two months until release at the time, I just decided to wait for the box set and watch it all then. Woo. :D

NaNoWriMo 2010: End Of Week One

Posted November 7, 2010 under Writing | Tagged: , | 1 Comment

As the title says, it’s the end of the first week of NaNo, aka the seventh day.

So far I am doing pretty well. I’ve only been behind one day so far – Thursday – and I caught up on all that extra on Saturday. This is really really good, as last year I started off ahead, then went to camp for a couple of days and it all just fell apart. This time around and am really quite steady, am not fussing about with “argh I am stuck on this scene” and simply skipping ahead instead. Which seems to be working.

Winterheart is feeling different from other works, but good different (or so the betas say). Well, we’ll see.

Current word count: 11 741 words.
