NaNoEdMo
I'm 6 days in, and I haven't touched my manuscript. That means I have 12 hours of editing to make up. Eep.. more »
Better late than never
On Friday the 28th of November I passed the 50k mark, making me:
Andy was supposed to be finishing off the story [I left it at a bit of a cliff-hanger] over the weekend but didn't get much further than he had been. Ah well. Come March [or National… more »
fourty kay!
I've been really quiet on the nano front, mostly been recording my anguish and triumphs on Jaiku, but I just had to let y'all know: I'm on the home stretch now! I hit 40k tonight, now only another 10k words till I reach the target. How amazingly awesome… more »
Going good
I know it's only been a couple of days, and I have the rest of the month to go, but so far our story is shaping up nicely, and so far I've managed to get a nice healthy word count. I hope I'll have a good buffer by the end of tonight :)
8450 done, onl… more »
Little late
Okay, I'm a little late with this but:
Another months on highly caffinated, sugar-high, Noveling. Bring on the crazy! more »
Oooh Err Missus
I'm not feeling terribly confident about this years Nano. Since my last post back in the summer, we haven't worked on... well, anything.. I still don't exactly know how we're going to be able to writ this together. Up till the mid-way point things will b… more »
In the works
This year's Nano is going to be a join venture by Andy and I. We're going to be writing a High Fantasy piece called The Stone of Tides. It's going to be epic, and Gothic, and China Miéville-'New Weird'-esqu. And that's all I'm going to say about wha… more »

Pirate comedy Vs Nano
Yay! I just finished writing the pirate comedy, scheduled for release next Monday, so now I can concentrate on Nano :)
I'm still not certain what I'm going to be writing about, but I think I'll try re-writing/ finishing The Ultimate Story of my Friend… more »
It's that time of year again
Yep, it's coming up to the start of National Novel Writing Month, the time of year when I will be cranky, over caffinated and doing nothing but writing. Your support and energy drinks will be greatly recived; your invites out will not. more »
So, I've done it.
I've reached 50 thousand words. See, I even have a pretty picture to prove it:
So, why don't I feel like celebrating? Why do I feel like, so what, it's only 50k. it wwasn't hard at all. Why don't I feel good about finally being about to dye my hai… more »
I'm feeling a little smug right now.
My total word count, at time of writing, and according to the official NaNo verifiyer, is thirty nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty two. Or 39,932 for those of you who don't like long words.
I'm begining to think I might actually win this thing :D more »
Not going to make it
Well, I am, to 50k. However I'm not sure I can get: Brianna getting killed, the plan being developed, the journy to Earth, the plan being executed and flying off into the sunset; to fit into 14,500 words.

How did that happen?
Dakar has a snooty camp secretary. I don't know wehere he came from, but he just turned up. This world never ceases to amaze me at the richness, variety and kookyness of it's inhabitanse.
My dramatis personael ['real', not aluded to] now includes, asi… more »
Technically I've already won
I said at the start of this crazy adventure they call NaNoWriMo that if I got over my final word count of last year I would be happy. On a whim I just checked to see what said WC was for last year. It's 27,233. And what's my WC at the moment? 31,922.… more »
Grrr
Brianna, Gurn, I know this is hard for you, but would you please just suck it up and start having angry sex already! Or at least sex that passonate enough that when Asuka walks in, she thinks there's been a fight and almost shoots Brianna!!!! more »
*Sings*
Oooooh,

Oooh Oh,
Living onna prayer!
Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear,
Ooooh oh,
Living onna prayer!

I feel like skank today
I've written all of 209 word today. I went to work, felt really dizzy and cold. End of shift I had to wait in the rain for 30mins for the bus to come, and when it did, I practicaaly fell asleap on the bloke sat next to me. Managed to get home, still feel… more »
Progress
Well, I'm not super extatically happy at how I'm doing any more, more sort of 'Ho hum, what's going to happen now?'.
I've been treated to quite a lot of food from Andy though for doing so well. At the moment I'm about a day ahead of schedule, so I sho… more »

* Tiredness

* Inability to type of even speak good english any more
* Inability to concentrate for more than a few seconds on anything
* Feelings of failure
* Second guessing one's s… more »
It's okay, but...
I'm worried I might be being too verbose. I know, with Nano that's not supposed to be a problem, but I did want to write my novel so that it ended at 50k. That should mean that I should have 12,500 words for the begining, 25k for the middle and 12,500 fo… more »
I'm good, I'm good
*does the happy dance* I wrote over 2k words today pretty much on one scene [okay a lot of that was the history of the wrold from 1980-2300, but I don't care]. That puts me 1095 words ahead of what I should be. I'm going to win! As well as that, I just c… more »
