And so comes the last day of NaNoWriMo. My final wordcount is 56,011. It’s amazing to have met my daily 1,667 word goal and light up all the days of the little calendar with green boxes. I ended the story and I would say that it went okay. I will say that halfway through the […]
Fantasy Gathering A dash of wizardry and dragons
50,000 words written…
Yay!!! I wrote more than 50,000 words! Big ol’ cheers! Woohoo!!! My profile now sports a purple bar that proudly says “Winner!”. Gotta love it! Not done with the story yet. I still have to meet my daily 1,667 word goal for the next three days and I just hope I have enough story to […]
NNWM: Day 25
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! Still chugging along. My story almost came to an end very quickly but I thought of some extra scenes that would work nicely and add more so that I can try and give it a somewhat exciting end. I just hope I can stretch it out and meet […]
Halfway through NaNoWriMo
It’s halfway through the month. I never expected to make it this far. Excluding today, I have written 27,304 words thus far. I’m still working on today’s goal. I guess I didn’t mention it but what I do is that I start a fresh Word document every day just to make sure I’m reaching my […]
I hate naming stuff…
Honestly, I hate naming new characters, new locations, new everything. Any name I finally choose, chances are someone else has created it first, that it’s a surname, that it’s a word in a foreign language, or I make it too complicated that I know people will pronounce it several ways. I think naming locations has […]
Day 7 of NaNoWriMo
A week of writing results at 12,898 words. I would keep trying for tonight but I have a couple shows coming on pretty soon (Boardwalk Empire & The Walking Dead) as well as two netflix movies to try to watch and get sent out by tomorrow (Prince of Persia & Splice). Right now, I have […]
There are words in your document??
It’s annoying when it approaches 6 or 7 pm and you’re not even close to the 1,667 word limit. *strangles brain* That is all.
Day 4 of NaNoWriMo
I’ve been looking through the forums of NNWM after I got stumped on how to write telepathy. The idea of using ” ” for telepathy would be a pain in my side because I’d have to keep stating that it’s being done mentally. I can’t stand italics and using italics would be a bit dangerous […]
Day 2 of NaNoWriMo
I don’t expect to blog every day about NaNoWriMo so… Heh! I knew how the story was going to start so it was easy to get that pounded out yesterday. Today was a different story. I spent hours and hours and hours just trying to… really… get… words out. I kept getting up and going […]
Day 1 of NaNoWriMo
To make sure you reach 50,000 words, you should write at least 1,667 words a day. I kept fiddling, going outside, walking around, but I finally sat down and over the course of a few hours typed 1,989 words. Woot! Of course, I used Fantasy Gathering as my setting and decided to pursue a story […]
