Same entry as last time--I've come to the conclusion I lead a rather uneventful and dull life.
 

Lost track of time once again. Work n online mmorphs have kept me occupied since last November/December.


 

corrected the word counts of my NaNo entries

surprisingly I was pretty close

I'm at 22k words altogether

I will be filling in narrative on Malyn's journals (10k words right now) and that will more than likely triple the journal word count easily. Once the narrative is in place the journal will be cut out and not put in the final book...It is used as a guide and outline of events from one character's perspective the book will have more depth hopefully.
 

using the voice of one character of the story--atm my preferred main character--I've created a series of 'journal entries' telling her version of how she travelled from her homeland to Dhoesone and then onto Verloren Keep in the Giantdowns.

She is a barbarian so her voice rhythm is stilted and choppy as she writes in common or trade speech rather than her native Vos.


basically it covers most of the high points of book 1 introducing four of five characters that will participate in at least two more books.

"Journals A characters POV of events" 

this set adds another 10,340 words to my word count--not bad for three days work.
 

I added some story blocks to backstory front and back---then filled in the center majority with action outline that will have to be tightened into some kind of story account of battle.

backstory now has 10,600 words making a total word count of 14,300.

average words per day for 10 days comes to 1060----not bad for a 3+ years of no successful consecutive writing.

no writing tonight and I work tomorow

Wednesday is my day off--plan to write at least 10k words--got an outline set up to help with the endeavor--hope to get about three maybe four chapters of back story or prestory or some such
 

took a couple days off--Saturday because my mind wasn't focused for writing and Sunday because it was my late son's 32nd birthday.

but here are a few lines to keep some momentum going

"Backstory 6,933 wc" 
 

"Concerned Friends 1,144 wc" 
 

And so it Begins.

For those participating either officially or unofficially In the National November Write Month, November 1st is the kick off. Good luck to everyone in reaching your goals.
