NaNoWriMo Update #9

| xeyeti

I think I’m done with the first draft of the novel.

I’m up a bit later than I really should be, considering I haven’t slept much the past two nights, but I was so close to being done, and felt kinda inspired tonight, so I decided to just push on through anyway. I ended up with about 50,100 words or so, give or take.

Admittedly, this is just the first – probably very rough – draft, and it’ll need some other eyes to take a look at it and make some suggestions and help me make sure it makes sense and isn’t complete rubbish.

But hey, I’ve written a novel-length story, or two stories that I’ve stitched together haphazardly into a single story! Huzzah!

NaNoWriMo Update #7

Didn’t get a whole heukuva lot written over the weekend, but I did get Part One of the book plotted out very loosely. Very loosely. I am up to 35,500 words, which ain’t half bad, I guess.

Hoping this first part will match up well with the second part, and that it will all feel of a single piece. Time will tell.

Also, anyone wanna edit this behemoth when it’s done?

NaNoWriMo Update #5

As of this morning, I’m sitting at 23,869 words. I’m on pace to get halfway through by this evening, which is actually ahead of schedule (what with today only being the 14th). I still need to go back and flesh out some more sections of the story, but I’m pretty confident I can get to at least 40,000 words by the end of the month.

I have revised my plans for the plot, ditching some of the stuff I’d originally planned because it was crap and coming up with some stuff that I think will work much better. We’ll see.
