I Wrote a Dinner Scene

I just sat down and worked for 1.5 hours. In that time I produced 1,252 words. About a typed page and a half. It’s the first time I have sat down an written in days. That’s been my problem this year. I’m not having too many plot or character problems. I don’t see my output petering out. However, it seems that I have not made NaNoWriMo a priority this year. I’m constantly thinking of another errand that could be run or another project to work on. Seriously, I haven’t thought about knitting in months but today I went to a knitting store and bought some new needles for this project I have in mind. Why now? Who knows…

By now I should have 15,003 words.
My current count is 6,573 words.

Ramble On

I did decent work today. Mostly I just spilled various ramblings out onto the page, but I think that is okay. I am starting to get some voice for my different characters. I am starting to see how the different voices will interact. I am also getting my head (a little bit) around what I want to wrestle with in the story. Really this whole plot is a vehicle for my own ideas about the world. I don’t want to be so obvious about it, though. I might be seeing the first glimmer of how to do that. Still excited. Still see potential. Just got to spend more time writing!

By now I should have 6,668 words.
My current count is 3,613 words.

Uh…

Yesterday’s in-auspicious beginning continued today. I wrote nothing. I still plan to. So, um, let me get started on that...

By now I should have 5,001 words.

Year Four Begins

I won’t take long as this blog is eating into my noveling time, but I would like to report that I have actually started my NaNoWriMo for this year. I am off to a slow start. I didn’t write at all on day one. I spent 4 hours at my desk today getting only 1,879 words down. Part of that time I was deciding on names for all my characters and the rest I worked very in-efficiently owing to it being so cold in my office. Although now that I have wised up and put on a sweater things are much better. This year I’m going for the win!

By now I should have 3,334 words.
