NaNoWriMo update

[Vix]

Ok, five days into NaNoWriMo and it's not going well. Yes, I had reached 8064 words by the end of Tuesday, but I was struggling. Last night I managed to type 383 words in three hours before I finally admitted that I hate my characters, I hate my story, and I really don't want to do this.

Anyhow, November 6th and I'm starting fresh. No planning, no outline, but I have a story that excites me a lot more than my original and in 25 days I intend to write a 50000 word novel. I suppose if I ran short I could always count the 8000+ words already written, but I'm going to try to do it wihtout them.

Good luck Vix!

[Jane]

Yeah, that's a better idea.  Just wing it!  Good luck.

I shan't post my word count.  You'll hate me. *hides*

Says the person who claimed not to have time to write a novel ...;)

[Amanda N]

Well, really, I don't.  It's kind of taking place of certain things.  Like...cleaning around the house and I'm actually taking some time from my quilting.

When I do write, though, it's pretty fast.  Probably because I'm not too worried about quality since I know its' gonna stink anyway. :}

Good luck, Vix.  

I'm still hmming and hawing about whether to start.  I could always start it in January when everything has been done with Mark and he's recuperating. :-

[Amanda N]

we could write a book together!

[Kaysea]

That's what NaNo is all about! Ignoring chores and setting aside other hobbies to write a ton of crappy prose. :D

Ah, I've heard of Harlequin.  So that's the history, eh?  I learned something new today!

Why am I not surprised??

I actually like the Temptation books - they're a little racier and more to my taste. LOL
