Playing Catch-Up (NaNoWriMo: Day 13)

Well, with access to my writing again and some free time to focus, I'm finally playing catch-up.  Whoo!  Only thirteen thousand words left to go.  So far, I'm incredibly behind my goal.  I was trying to hit 20k this weekend, only I didn't write... anything.  Instead, I worked a little on this new video for my YouTube channel.  The script is kicking my rear, but that's okay.  It'll be fun.

Novel writing is something I've done for awhile.  With everything that's going on this year, I'm starting to think that next year, I need to plan things out better.  Hopefully, it'll mean I can stick to my plot better than I have so far.  There's a lot of fluff and not a lot of substance.

Ah, well, back to writing.  Here's a widget so you can track my progress by day.  Green means I've hit my goal for the day. ;)

Soul Searching (NaNoWriMo Day 6)

Well, I'm behind yet again.  I've somehow fallen behind a good seven thousand words.  Playing catch-up sucks, but it's something I've got to do.  I will manage to do this, even if it takes a few late nights and lots of tea.

Today, though, I really wanted to focus on me time.  I need to find my muse again, get in touch with him/her, and shake them until they start giving me a decent plot...  I'm already starting chapter three and nothing has really happened.  I don't know why, but this whole thing is frustrating me.  Beyond that, I'm still on vacation.  I can't escape enough to write anything worth reading.

So there you have it... My complaints for the day.  Now for me to actually do something productive!

NaNoWriMo: Day 1

Well, it's official.  I've well and truly lost my mind.  Today marks day one of National Novel Writing Month.  For those of you who don't know, it's when all of us who think we can write attempt to write 50k words in thirty days.  Fun stuff.

So, what did I do today on the writing front?  Well... I posted a vlog about doing this, and now I'm writing a blog post...  Fun stuff.  I've also spent the last hour avoiding looking at the pile of laundry and brainstorming for my novel this month.  I'm starting a new project, so this should be interesting.

Hopefully, I'll have more to write later, but I highly doubt it.  If you all are doing NaNoWriMo, feel free to add me as a writing buddy.  My username is SiriusGirl1996.  Happy writing!
