And it's easier to
stay interested in the plot.
And it's not
repetitive.
And best of all,
it doesn't take very long to write them.
Unfortunately I'm
not writing a short novel. Stinks to be me. On the flip side, there
is a certain amount of pride in seeing the word count grow higher and
higher with each passing page. I'm sitting pretty at 70,660. (That
means, by the way, that this is the longest work I've ever written,
complete or incomplete.) I should
write another chapter later, if I stop procrastinating and, more
importantly, stop writing this blog post. Neither of which have
happened so far.
On
the flip side of the flip side, I just finished
chapter sixteen (of twenty-four). I need to get to chapter
twenty-two at least before the OYAN Workshop. (So far my pace is
okay: I've finished four chapters in the last week. But they were
short chapters.) I'll be lucky if I get to twenty, I think.
And while luck is at the job, maybe I could wake up at eight tomorrow
and write till noon. I think that's simply a dream of a dream—but
we'll see.
Also, I wish I had written more in my outline before starting my
novel. When it's midnight and I'm all out of ideas, I need my
outline to give me a little more than a vague sentence with an
uncertain parenthesis or two. (A while back I looked ahead to
chapter fifteen and was horrified to find a line of question marks in
the middle of a paragraph.)
What about you lot? Writing much lately? Are any of you OYANers out
there busy preparing for the SW yet? (Yeah, me neither.)
Oh, and have you read any good books? I just finished one. The Ravaged Realm by D. Barkley Briggs, which was excellent and reminiscent of Lawhead, except more character-driven and not quite as focused on the dusty-history-scholarly stuff, which is a good thing.

Ah, right. I'm supposed to be writing. Gotta fly.
70,660? Great work! That's quite an impressive wordcount!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an OYANer, but I actually have been trying to finish up my first Camp NaNo novel from this year so I can do the second Camp NaNo in July.
You read The Ravaged Realm? Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it as well; I thought it was awesome.
Hope your writing goes well!
