No,
really, that's the story of my life right now.
Night
of the living writer. The “living” part is kind of surprising,
seeing as I often feel dead after writing. The majority of my writing
is done at night, after all, and while it's fairly quiet and gives me
lots of time, it does tend to wear on my energy.
Also,
today is national Whale Explosion Day. Search Oregon's Whale
Explosion on Google and watch the 1970 video. It kind of helps you
when you're brain-dead. (:
And
besides this, I really don't have much else to post about, other than
I'm still on track with my word count. I hit the big 20k today: my
current count is 21,130. Not bad! The story is on track. It's a
bit slow right now, but it'll pick up in the next five thousand words
or so and then hurtle to the finish line.
To
those of you who are behind, take courage! You can do it! If you're
really in need of motivation, shoot me an email for a word war. I'm
usually available from 10:00 PM GMT to anytime after that. (I'm six
hours ahead of CST, and five ahead of EST, if you need a conversion
chart. ^_^) My email's on the Contact Me page.
Speaking
of word counts, how is yours? Those of you who are doing NaNoWriMo,
are you ahead or behind? Those of you who aren't doing NaNoWriMo,
what's your current project and how's it coming along?
I
think Tornado C's lack of brevity is rubbing off on The Voice of God.
My MC is about to be launched into the plot head-first, but I'm
already eighty pages into the novel! I'm hoping to wrap it up at 50k
or so, but who knows?
One
thing's for sure...I won't make last year's mistake. If The Voice of
God does get long, I'm going to finish it before moving on to other
projects. (:
May
the Ninja go with you! Or to quote the Myrkian goodbye, “Fare ye
well and God ye bless!” Write like the wind, and may your keyboard
burn with speed!
Hey'a, Jake! My NaNoWriMo novel is going well; I hit 25k sometime last night, I think. (Or early this morning. One of the two.) Glad to hear your novel is going well!
ReplyDeleteI shall go look up this whale explosion video posthaste. It sounds interesting.
An exploding WHALE?! Oh, my stars. *looks up* Watching this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBgThvB_IDQ *watches video* *bursts out laughing* Wow. That was brilliant. Thank you for that. Now I can get 5k done tonight. : )
ReplyDeleteTechnically not doing NaNo - I'm doing Half NaNo (25k words in November). it's going okay. Ish. I still haven't hit my stride and that's probably because of school. : P Anyway. Planning on being crazy and doing an all-nighter sometime this week. : )

Whale explosion? Sounds fascinating!
ReplyDeleteMy NaNo novel is going pretty well. I just passed 30k, but I know I am beginning to lag a bit. I have never actually participated in a word war. I must look into it...
Happy noveling! :)
*Sound of keyboard beginning to sizzle*
