Writing location: Alas? Just The Chair? I have broken 50% tonight. I semi-officially have fewer words left to write toward the month’s goal than I have written already. Cause for slacking? Hell no! I came close to not writing at all tonight. Other things, other things… Long week. Exhaustion. All the excuse. But then I […]
Writing location: Once again, just The Chair… Tonight we’re up to 24,078 words. “Thanks” to all the other NaNos out there for their support. I’ve gotten tons of traffic here, through my profile there, and from my Flickr stream. (Stoli is getting a lot of action from this occasion, too…) I guess I didn’t realize […]
Writing location: Tonight? Just The Chair… Broke 20,000. And then kept going. Because I could. Because it was there. Five days ahead of pace now. (Is it a race? The NaNoWriMo boards tell me there’s some kind of word war going between Vermont and New Hampshire.) As promised (did I make a promise about this?) […]
Writing location: The Chair and The Chair alone Somehow I just can’t bring myself to squeeze out the 35 more words to make for the daily goal. Not tonight. Trying to vote today just took too much out of me. (Operative word here being “trying”.) So alas, no excerpt worth its starch to share tonight. […]
Writing locations: The Chair, baby (totally the chair) …despite this evening’s birthday festivities, I still managed to fit in 1,626 words (that’s 97.54% of the daily target). In other words: I’m still four days ahead of pace. No complaints. And I’m even getting near the part that I think will turn out “good enough” to […]
Writing locations: Living room > Dining Room > Living Room > Fletcher Free Library > Living Room Main lesson learned today? Just push through the tedious parts. Let December be about editing and polishing and making it sound right. Oh, and if you don’t care about your characters’ walk to the park, your reader won’t […]
Writing location: my new big chair in the living room Put in a pretty full (if sporadic) day of writing. Already up to 24.11% of the 50,000 word mark as of this writing here. Moving right along on the story now. Got most of Act One’s cast introduced and have made myself pretty comfortable with […]
Writing locations: Kitchen table (morning, home); living room (evening, home) Oddly enough: most of today’s words were written this morning at the kitchen table during the hour or so that I waited for the delivery guys to show up. Meanwhile I spent hours this evening in my new birthday chair without terribly much to show […]
Writing locations: Kitchen table (morning, home); living room (evening, home) For some reason, not as easy tonight. But some solid material. Really starting to get a feel for “my Joshua”. Still feeling really good about the project. 5,909 words as of 22:11 on night #2? Good pace.
Writing locations: Kitchen table (morning, home); living room (evening, home) I got up early this morning to start writing and managed to fit in about 900 words before breakfast and work got the better of me. It felt good to drink my coffee and dive right into the project and process. It’s a very different […]
