NaNoWriMo – Week 2
NaNoWirMo is still happening!!
I am writing away as fast as I can (and can means when I find time). I am off the daily pace of 1,667 if you were to segment the process into 30 equal chunks. Who can have an equal chunk!
My current word count -as of this post – is 12,080 . If on pace, I would have just over 15,000. My mom is ahead of me by 8 WORDS!. My brother-in-law Scott has just shot over 20,000! I think his characters have long passages where they read the phone book.
My story is coming along well. Last night’s chapter went really well. I sat down to write and had a very limited idea. I sat and threw something at it and things started to happen. I was really cool when all of a sudden the whole thing looked like I had a master plan. Which I do. I have the plot in the global sense pretty worked out. But the connections to get some of those plot points together are not quite there. I am hoping more chapters like last night!
Now – back to writing (well work, I will novel later!)
It’s funny that you mentioned that, because my “novel” has a lot of dialogue, which may be a bad thing.
By the way, I’m doing it Pratchett style. No chapters.
I know my “chapters” are not really chapters. Most of them will be smashed together. Right now a chapter is a segment or some container to help me get my brain around it.
