Thursday, November 11, 2004 NaNo Word Count: 15,885 Had a good day today, I hammered out 1323 at lunch and when I got home, everyone was out at the mall, so I plunked down in the new room with a big ol' comfy chair and hammered out another 1546 (yes, I'm actually keeping track of what I do and when and yes, it's anal - oh yeah...). So that makes it 2869, my second best day to date (the Nov 9th is still the tops with a 3659 total). It also means I'm closing the gap. To be completely on-track, I should be up around 18,337. That means I'm only down by 2452 as of today. As long as keep going, I should be fine. But I'll admit that this section I'm working on is a part I initially envisioned when I started this whole thing. I know of only two more scenes that I'm aware of from the get-go. I had three and this was one of them. Hence it came out quick and easy, although it does sometimes want to take a different course or I let it go off on a tangent when I'm writing. The next few parts are probably going to slowly get much harder. It's difficult, sometimes, to actually make things happen. I sometimes feel there should be explanations or at least an obvious reason why something is not being noticed, or how a character can get away with this and that... I think it's been holding me back for some time. The Inner Editor (IE) in me is always reevaluation what angle I'm telling a story at, and how or why this has to be. When in reality, I should just shut up and plod on, worry about it later. If nothing else, I hope this feeling of just writing and leaving the details for later, stays with me. I'm also trying to stay committed to two techniques here: 1. I'm refusing to go back and read the story. When I open my laptop to start writing, I only read a paragraph or two to reorient myself and then I just start in again. This keeps me from going over it and over it and editing it again and again. The downside is I'm probably creating plot holes Hannibal could drive elephants through. Do the kids still use Hannibal like that? Or do people only know the Anthony Hopkins character? 2. Nobody can read it. And I mean it this time. I don't mind posting an excerpt every now and then (and I'm probably due for one soon), but there's this thing that I do that once I tell you what it's about - in detail - I don't find I'm motivated to finish anything. So far, despite it being crapariffic, it's still my little baby, and the only way to nurture it's shitty soul, is to hide it away from everyone. Here's hoping I can knock out some serious work this weekend, because I know I'm going to loose next Sunday (Lego Train Show in Providence) and Turkey Day 2004 will be another washout. (So, that means I have to make up 3334 for those days and the 2452 that I'm currently in debt for a grand total of 5786 - Sheesh, obsess much?) --------------------------- Working Title: Sethkyne_Blue Lesbian Encounters: 1.50 Plot Holes I Know About: 3 Personal Appearences: 2 Body Count: 1 posted by Evil Wayne | 11:48 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
