NaNoWriMo continues.

I began writing very slowly around 3 AM this morning. I’m at 1630 words right now. And now it’s time for me to hit the sack… Sadly I must go to work tonight at 10 PM instead of stay awake and write more. I do plan on spending my breaks and lunch writing though. I created new notebooks in evernote and set my nano novel as the default notebook. I need to be in catch up mode for the next couple days. Hopefully I’ll pull through and be ahead of the game by the end of the week. Here’s hoping!

Until next time,

National Novel Writing Month 2013!

It’s that month again! I didn’t participate last year, and I was cheating the year before. But it doesn’t matter because that book still isn’t done,

This year, today actually, I came up with a completely original story which I have just completed a preliminary outline for… Mostly just the back story and facts I’ll need to remember. I’m about to outline my plot and then hopefully begin actually writing. I’m aiming for 1700 words/day or more. For me, that’s optimistic. No matter what I do, I can’t help doing minor editing while I’m writing. It’s distracting for me to have errors across a page. I also tend to think out how to best word various sentences before I continue. This might sound normal, but it’s not. I’ll do this for minor sentences and that really takes time.

Anyways.

My last post was hoping for a trend to start. It didn’t. Until today, I hadn’t opened Scrivener since that day… But today should definitely become a trend. I fully intend on not having a life for the next 30 days. Except for work, going to the gym, and eating. I’ll be trying to spend as much time writing as I can.

So, Wish me luck!

Until next time,
