50,000 Words or Bust…
Posted in nano, writing
2 Comments
And I’ve finally hit the half-way mark yesterday at just over 25,000 words. Which isn’t as much as some of the over-achievers I run with who are already past 30,000, but that’s okay. I’m getting the word counts done that I need to, but seem unable to get much further past that on a daily basis – probably because I’m getting so heavily sucked into DA. Which is fine. Good things are coming out it and I’ve now got way more of a plot for ShadowWeaver than I did when I started. Really good stuff coming out that I hadn’t really given much thought to, although the villain seems to be way more of a bitch than I originally envisioned. I’m still not quite sure what her motivation is, so that’s something I need to work with. MoonSong continues to be touch and go. When NaNo is over, I’m going to have…

Tales From the Writing Trenches

Or some such. NaNo and Dragon Age have caught up to me apparently. I’m still keeping my daily word count (but some days only barely), but to say I’m burning the candle at both ends would be a bit of an understatement. Aside from work and family stuff, for the last two weeks I’ve started writing my NaNo words at about 10 PM and finish up about midnight. At which point I fire up Dragon Age and play until about 2 AM. (And then get up at 7 AM and start all over again). The last few days have been…um…a little bleary in my mind. And a tad painful on the back issue as well. Still twinging off and on. The muscles have started guarding again, from my left butt cheek up to my shoulder. The nerves have died down a bit, but I’m going back to the neurosurgeon’s next…

Can the Tooth Fairy Fly in the Rain?

Not that teeth aren’t exciting in their own right. Connor lost two of them this week – although we had to have the dentist take them out. Probably didn’t help that he had fallen on the playground about a month ago and knocked all four of the bottom teeth loose. They didn’t come out but they were pretty wobbly. Still – the very front two have been barely holding on for the last few weeks and a quick glance inside showed the adults growing in quite nicely behind them. (He’s also got a couple of 6 year molars popping in there too, but he doesn’t seem quite as concerned about them.) So we took him to the dentist for a quick look and sure enough, the dentist just wrapped them up with a quick bit of tissue and popped them right out. And then the tooth fairy stuff began. Connor…
