WRITING:
Last Wednesday for NaNoWriMo & SavvyAuthors: Entangled Smackdown.
I passed 50K last week and verified the word count Monday night to get the Winner’s Goodies. I’ll rest when the story’s over. Until then, I’m taking part in the writing sprints for bonus points to help my #Fire_Divas team for the Smackdown. It’ll also help get this story finished even though the word count goal’s already been reached.
WRITING:
I can’t believe there’s just one week left in the writestravaganza I’ve immersed myself in for NaNoWriMo & SavvyAuthors: Entangled Smackdown.
As of yesterday, I’m at 57,458 words.
The writing continues. I want to see how many more words I can hammer out before the end of the month.
READING:
Does listening to books count? I’ve been listening to Robert McKee‘s Story to keep me on track. More audiobooks to follow as we pull into the final stretch of the month. It’s a great way to multitask because I’m running out of hours in the day to get everything done, ya know?
Third week done.
Surpassed 50K on Wednesday and I’m still going. I want to make sure the subplots weave seamlessly with the main story arc.
NaNoWriMo & SavvyAuthors: Entangled Smackdown stats:
Week One: 17,850 words
Week Two: 16,383 words
Week Three: 18,820 words
I did start to slow down a bit later in the week but the sprints that began it paid off.
Running Total: 53,053 words
I recall writing about my experiences in Toronto last month–has it only been a month?–and something in particular struck a chord with me precisely because it struck a chord with me.
Music.
The stars must have aligned beyond the clouds on that mid morning Friday. We were on the highway and I could see the CN Tower pierce through the horizon. The landmark came into view along with the rest of the Toronto skyline and I was overcome with emotion. Nostalgia, happiness, and excitement swirled in my head.
WRITING:
On the hump of Week Three for NaNoWriMo & SavvyAuthors: Entangled Smackdown.
I’m just a kiss, fight, and/or kill away from 50K words, as of last night’s count. Hard to say with my tricky characters. They do love a plot twist.
I’m itching to edit certain scenes, but have forced myself to take copious notes and just keep writing forward. This is a challenge unto itself, but I’m getting through it.
WRITING:
It’s hard to believe that we’re already in the second half of November, let alone nearing the end of the year.
Week Three of NaNoWriMo & SavvyAuthors: Entangled Smackdown, here we come.
By yesterday’s count and indicator on my handy-dandy NaNoWriMo widget, I’m at 77% of the 50K word count goal. I plan on writing at least another 20K after that so I think I’m at a good pace with the story. Aside from the previous murder victims, no new bodies have turned up but there’s still time. 🙂
