April 20k Update 2

2.8k/20k

Officially crossed 50k in draft 2 of Divinity! And I finished the chapter I was working on. Next one should be the last of act 2, and then it's into act 3 and the home stretch!

I'm going to be away from my laptop for a few days soon, so I'll probably have to do a lot of catchup next week. Hopefully the words come easy!

April 20k Update 1

1.7k / 20k

Today started off strong! I typed up a couple of scenes I've had physically written in a notebook for forever, and once I ran out of that I kept going off the cuff. I made some progress in 4thewords (very thankful they changed numbers around in the desert area lol it was a bit of a slog previously) and I'm about a day or so ahead of schedule.

I did realize I need to update the outline for this draft however. I'm in the middle of chapter 16 right now, and what I'm writting is waaay off from what I had originally plotted out. Think I'm going to jot some notes down in the next day or so just to give myself a decent idea of how I want chapters to fall going forward.

It's been a little while since I've written much of anything, so I'm setting a goal of 20k for myself in April! I was able to hit that amount last year, so I'm decently confident I can do it again :)

Nanowrimo Day 30

Dawn of the final day - I have 1935 words to write reach 50'000. I got 200 in at 12am last night, lets see if I can get the rest of this done before the clock strikes 12, shall we?

Update! Made it to 1847 before calling it quits for the night. Hurray!

Nanowrimo Day 21

Currently sitting at 834/1667- just stopping for dinner and will be back to writing in a bit. I might try to get 1800 if I can tonight, but I'm still slightly ahead so I won't pressure myself. I have been thoroughly enjoying the ambience of the freezing rain outside for writing tonight. I don't know what it is about rain, but it just *hits* when I'm working on something, y'know?

Nano Update Day 17

I just crossed 30k for this month and 40k in the manuscript as a whole! I'm quite pleased with myself, especially because tonight I started almost two hours later then usual, and I was worried it would be tough to get the words out. But nope! Once I sat down it didn't take long for things to start flowing. Here's to hoping I can get more done this weekend!

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

being a writer is sometimes just like

“she raised the sword - *stares out of the window for three minutes* - high above her head, its- *plays with pen* - silver skin glinting in the- *gets up and walks around the room* - golden sunlight. her face- *opens tumblr*

Nanowrimo Day 13

Look at me go!

I'm cautiously optimistic about the rest of the month. I'm having a ton of fun writing this book. I'm ahead of the game rn and I look forward to writing each night. This stretch is usually where I fall off in Nano but I believe in myself! I'm going to power through! Winning Nano isn't everything - hell just consistently getting words on a page is - but I really really want it this year, to prove to myself I can after a couple years of failed attempts.
