NaNoWriMo Day 12, 13, and 14
Hi Everyone!
It’s already the 15th day, but just barely. I must say Write or Die has helped with the block I had with the story. Now I have punched through and finally yesterday, I wrote close to 2000 words. I’m so excited I finally made it pass 1,667 in one day. It took me 14 days, but I made it. And the best part I did not have to use Write or Die. Each day I plan on writing close to 2,600 words a day. I decided to cushion my count, because the NaNoWriMo count is lower then the one on Open Office. So far 25 words off, but it will only increase as I write over. I do not want any surprises at the end of the month. I don’t think I could take it.
Anyhow, I’m off to sleep and wake up again in a few hours to write some more.
NaNoWriMo Day 8, 9, 10 & 11
It can’t get any worse. Can it?
I’m currently 13,002 words behind. Nothing is worse then knowing you have the time but can’t seem to get motivated to write. I’ve decided to invest in Write or Die for the desktop.
If you don’t know what it is, it is basically a program which asks how many words do you want to write in how many minutes. If you stop writing during the time allotted, it will let you know by changing the background of the screen and making sounds in the background. There is a free edition available at The Main Web Site, but I would recommend getting the Desktop Edition. It only costs $10 and has more options then the website edition. It even allows you to save the file.
It is a wonderful tool to help you write. This is way I’m going to use when I don’t have the motivation to write. This will be my life line. Will it be yours?
Until next time!
NaNoWriMo Day 5, 6 & 7
I can’t seem to write any more then 700 to 900 words a day. Except for the one day I didn’t write at all. I’m currently at 4,540 words. It isn’t the number I wanted to be at right now. But my words are coming in bits and pieces. Maybe my muse will come one day next week and lead me to victory. I’m praying for it to happen. Back to writing again.
NaNoWriMo Day 3 and 4
Day 3 was a lost cause. I was so tired I didn’t even open up the file to write one. It was pretty sad I fell asleep just after 8pm, and I slept the whole night through. Through I can’t do anything about but keep moving forward in NaNoWriMo.
My word count is 1,770. Just one days worth. It’s terrible, but hopefully I can write 2k today. I will be writing all weekend all. I don’t even care if it doesn’t make sense. I will be writing. There is nothing stopping me, but myself.
Anyhow I will return to writing my novel. Until later!!
NaNoWriMo Day 2
I didn’t get a chance yesterday to post about the first day. Between having to work around the house and going to a baby shower, I was not able to met the word count for the day.
Today is not any better, but at least I do have a day’s worth of words in. I just need to spread out the day I’m missing over the entire month. I’m hoping life doesn’t get in the way again. But it always happens.
I’ll post again tomorrow NaNoWriMo Day 3.
A Day Until NaNoWriMo
With a couple of hours added.
I’ll be plotting some more tonight and hopefully tomorrow. Then I’ll attempt to stay and be ready at midnight to start writing. I’ll somehow try to write half my word count for the day. At least I think I will.
Anyhow I will be posting daily updates starting November 1st with my daily progress report. Since I’ll be tied to my chair typing away, I should be updating the site. Shame on me for not updating more.
My index cards are calling me now.
Until Later.
Plotting Tonight!
I’m hoping tonight will be a great night. I’ve decided to use index cards to outline for NaNoWriMo. This is the first time I’ve used this method. I have three different colors. One for characters, one for plot, and one for miscellaneous information. I just need to find a case to keep them in. But I need to focus on outlining my novel for next month.
Tomorrow a local Kick-Off party for those joining NaNoWriMo will be held in the Tampa Bay area. We are to bring a food item related to our novel. I baked a red velvet cake. I have no idea how it relates to my novel, but I’m sure I will be lighten tonight.
It’s plotting time now! Later!
Muse Confernece Done and NaNoWriMo
Hi Everyone!
Life is as always busy. The Muse Conference was wonderful. Through I wish I had more time to really participate, it was a great experience.
Now, it’s time to gear up for NaNoWriMo. I decided to restart my second story idea for next month’s event. I’m thinking of adding more of a streampunk angle to the novel. Because I’ve always like those novel and movies. So why not try my hand at streampunk, or my version of it. I have nothing to lose.
I’ll post again by the weekend for sure. I need to keep my blog up.
Planning The Month Ahead
October will be a very busy month. I’ll be researching and planning for National Novel Writing Month. I’m so glad November 1st is a Sunday. I can start dark and early for the craziness known as NaNoWriMo.
Next week for the first time, I will be attending the The Muse Online Writers Conference. It is a completely free conference online with workshops and chats available for the entire. It is too late for register for this year, but I’m sure it will be back again next year.
I’ll be taking part in many of workshops available on a forum. Next week will be a information gateway to improve my writing. I can’t wait for the mayhem of keeping up with all the workshops, working all week, and anything else which pops in my life.
I’ll post again in a few days. Until then!
Long Time Since My Last Post
It’s been a very long time since I have updated here. Life has been crazy and I’ve had no energy to think or even write anything. I’ve been in a fog for a while. I’m hoping National Novel Writing Month will awaken my mind. Next month I will begin to plot my novel for November. 30 days to write 50,000. I can’t wait for it. And hopefully, I will be able to finish it this year.
Until next time!
