I don't want to jinx myself, and I'm still afraid I might hit a wall later because there are so many parts of the novel I haven't planned out yet, but so far Nanowrimo is going pretty well. I'm having a ton of fun, and I've been overshooting my 2,000 words-a-day quota every day. I'm over a fifth of the way to the Nanowrimo goal of 50,000 words, and only about a ninth of the way through my outline, so I'm in good shape! Speaking of the outline, I thought I had the first section planned out pretty well, but characters and scenes I hadn't envisioned at all are popping up out of nowhere. The characters are taking on a weird life of their own, and demanding to do things and say things I didn't want or expect them to do or say. It's an exciting feeling. It's also exciting to look back at the stuff I've written and think, "Hey, this isn't utter crap! In fact, that bit is pretty funny!" Maybe I won't feel that way when I look back at it in a month or so, but we'll see.
Anyway, I wanted to send a special message to fans of the blog (all two of you): if you're not following me on Twitter, you might want to do that! I haven't had time for many full-length blog posts here, but I have been posting to my Twitter feed even more frequently than usual lately - recycling links, reviewing comics, and making other random observations. You might like it!
Okay, enough disgusting self-promotion. Gotta get back to work. Later! |
