I was a little concerned that it took 3 of the early scenes I had planned to get to 1800. I can see that I have a lot of plotting to do if I can't stretch some of the scenes out more
Word count still = 0, but at least I finally came up with an idea, and a title. I have no idea if I will reach 50,000 words though, that seems way too intense.
Well, this is my first time doing this, so I hope it goes well. I'm up to 850 words and I've got ideas flowing. Hopefully they'll continue and life (read: lack-there-of due to engineering major and 19 credits worth of classes) won't screw me up.
good luck everyone! i'm not participating this year stupid thesis. if i do end up participating it won't be until after the 21st. let's see if i can write a novel in 8 days.
Aaargh! Insanity in full swing. Can't stand my story & have chucked the whole thing in the bin after just one day. Am going to ressurect something I actually like!
I'm off in a slightly unexpected cul de sac of my plot. Two minor characters who probably won't see much page-time in the long run have dominated the story so far, with the major players naught but a gleam in my eye.
Im gonna miss NaNo this year, I always loved going to the site for ideas. accepting a dare can easily give you a ton of extra material.
Good Luck guys!
The site is super slow tonight, so I write and wander on CF while it loads. Smart thinking.
I got just over 500 words last night. So lame. My story isn't going anywhere and I'm getting a little frustrated because it seems like my characters don't really know what they're suppose to be doing. *sigh* I may have to start writing their biographies into the story just to keep going. I really like my characters, but without any sort of a real plot I feel as though they will be wandering aimlessly for quite some time.
Time to try and get a look at the dare page.
The slowness of the site is a bit bothersome. Argh...
What are you guys doing up in here? You're supposed to be writing your novels!!
My 'weekend' is Tue/Wed so I have 7100 words so far.
My plot's moving a bit slowly for a 'real' novel, I think, but it helps on word count. I've set the goal for the 1667/day on work days, and let myself go longer on the weekends. I'm kinda scared I'll run out of steam before it's all over.
