This blog has gone through many changes, from a personal blog, to a "this is my town" blog, to a job-blog. I switch from topic to topic quite often...

 256.  meeting #3ID #677089 
Posted: 11-21-2009 @ 7:34 am EST 

Wrote 751 words at our NaNo meeting last night, and I'm slightly ahead of the NaNo WC goals.

I think I can see the end of my novel in sight... which is kind of scary because I still have one-third to go. It'll be fine, though. If I have to, I'll add some random scene or lots of dialogue or something. Laugh

I wish I could have written a little more yesterday, because to reach today's goal, I'll have to write 1573, which can be difficult for me to do on a weekend. Mr. J has a cold, though, so maybe he'll rest most of the day.

Of course, I should be writing right now, and not blogging and thinking about playing games... Laugh

 


 255.  Slowing downID #676978 
Posted: 11-20-2009 @ 5:48 am EST 

I was so far ahead during the first week, thanks to a few days where I wrote about twice the 1667 daily goal. Now I've fallen back a great deal.

I had the whole day off yesterday, and I only wrote 1554.

I'm still determined to finish. I'm not getting discouraged, exactly, but I'm surprised at how little I'm writing each day. This year's NaNo is definitely different from my others.

Ivy - Nano word count = 32,426 View poisonivy's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private]Email User: poisonivy [Offline / Private] and I are having another NaNo meeting tonight. I hope I do as well at this meeting as I did at the last ones! I'm going to try to come up with some ideas while I'm at work today. I can't really write at work, but I can jot down ideas.

Word Count: 31,677
Goal for end of today is 33,340

Posted: 11-19-2009 @ 1:33 pm EST 

What do you use for motivation to keep on writing and to hit those goals?

I tend to use games. I installed Sims 2 on my laptop but I wasn't allowed to play it until I reached today's goal.

Not much going on today. I just hit my WC goal, so I'm off to play! Bigsmile

 253.  Evening writingID #676667 
Posted: 11-18-2009 @ 9:16 am EST 

I had thought of myself as a morning writer for years now. The last two NaNo's saw me writing mostly before the afternoon, so I assumed it would be difficult for me to write at night. But increasingly, I'm finding that assumption to be wrong.

I'm falling behind a bit... I'm not behind the NaNo goals yet, but at this rate, I might soon. Yesterday's NaNo WC goal was 28,339 and my WC at the end of the day was only 28,414.

I have to step it up a little! I want to make sure I'm at least keeping up with the NaNo WC goals. I'm just feeling a little lost within my novel. I'm having a difficult time keeping track of everything that's going on, plus trying to find a way to bring it all together for the ending.

Anyway, I've started outlining a little, how I'd like the rest of the novel to go. I made a list of characters and what they need to do/find/accomplish. Hopefully that'll help me know what to write next. Smile

WC at the moment: 28,809
just 1323 more to reach today's goal.

Posted: 11-17-2009 @ 7:17 am EST 

Well, I didn't get to 5k yesterday, but I did get 2,402. I'm happy with that.

I keep a spreadsheet (two actually. It's a long story) with my NaNo stats. I have calculated how many words I'd need to write every day in order to finish by November 30 as well as November 25th (the day before Thanksgiving). I also calculate how many words I'd have to write just on weekdays in order to finish by the end of the month.

Here are my stats so far (which I find encouraging to look at):

To finish by Nov. 30th: 1,614 words/day
To finish by Nov. 25th: 2,225 words/day
writing only weekdays: 2,260 words/day

Word Count: 27,402

 


 251.  25k revisited, almost.ID #676372 
Posted: 11-16-2009 @ 8:31 am EST 

I just had a NaNo scare! I wrote a long scene this morning, 3 pages in a word document. Then I added it to my main novel item, and I checked my word count. Just over 25k. Huh? If I had 25k the last time I wrote, and I added 3 pages of words, how could the wc be that low? I took out what I just added and my wc was only 24k! I had lost one thousand words!

See, I have my NaNo item saved on a flash drive and also on my hard drive. After writing on Saturday, I saved only one of those instead of both.

So it was a short scare. I thought I was going to have to reach 25k a second time! I found the "missing" 1k, though, and I'm back to normal. As normal as can be, anyway... Laugh

I've had a strong morning of writing so far. 1,500 words with one tarot card reading! (One of my NaNo tricks is having a character visit a tarot reader. I use a free tarot reading site - lik www.facade.com - and I focus on the character to get their reading. I've found that it's surprisingly accurate and sometimes gives me a good insight into the character and their destiny.)

Anyway, I still have one more reading to do. I'm hoping to get at least 3k done this morning, and just maybe get a 5k day in! That would very lovely. Smile

Word Count at the moment: 26,442

 


 250.  November 15ID #676236 
Posted: 11-15-2009 @ 8:03 am EST 

I reached 25k yesterday! Halfway done!! Hooray! Bigsmile

I'm not sure I'll write much today... I have another 5k walk this morning (a "Great American Smokeout" walk that benefits ACS) and Mr. J and I both don't have work today, so it'd be difficult to spend the day writing.

I'm really hoping to do 3-5k tomorrow. Smile

Word Count: 25,000

Another NaNo meeting yesterday. I only got 750 words at the meeting, but I'm surprised I got that much!

Yesterday was pretty awful at work... just running around like a maniac cleaning up after incompetent coworkers and dealing with the insane customers. Being on my feet for 9 hours straight was tough, then we did a little shopping in Wilkes-Barre, (though according to my new pedometer, I walked 14,541 steps yesterday!), I was pretty tired by the time we reached Panera.

So I'm happy with my progress so far. And next week won't be as bad with my work schedule. I hope to reach 40k by the end of next week. Smile

Word Count at the moment: 24,183

 


 248.  Happy F13!ID #675978 
Posted: 11-13-2009 @ 5:47 am EST 

Happy Friday the 13th!

Man, if I thought yesterday was bad at work... I'm in for fun today! Add in the fact that I had a terrible time trying to sleep last night, today's going to be a joyride! Laugh

At least after work Ivy - Nano word count = 32,426 View poisonivy's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private]Email User: poisonivy [Offline / Private] is picking me up & we're going to Panera Bread for dinner. Good food and free wi-fi!

I wrote 686 yesterday evening (my goal was 500, so that's good!) and my goal is 500 for today. Shouldn't be too difficult to reach going by our last NaNo meet-up! I'm hoping to reach 25k by the end of the weekend!

Word Count: 22,403

Met my goal yesterday. I wrote 1701, actually, so I went ahead of my goal. So I played Plants vs. Zombies as a reward. Bigsmile

I've let my characters totally take over, and here's some of what they're doing:

Dr. Therice just shows up wherever he wants and announces surprising things.
Erie, a little girl, is wandering around her apartment building alone when she knows she's not supposed to.
Lilia, a prostitute, is having sex with everyone! lol!
C-19 is killing everyone!
Henri, the baker's assistant, keeps fainting! (oh yeah, and the man who died in the bakery? he was killed by the traveling shovel of death!)

...I still haven't done the tarot reading scene yet.

And yesterday I went and lost my gummybears! How can I write without gummybears?? I'll have to pick up some more at work today.
