NaNoWriMo anyone?

[Kali]

Passed the 16,000 mark last night.  Anyone else feeling an almost overpowering urge to go back and edit?

Almost overpowering?  No.

Actually overpowering?  Yes.

I went back and edited!  I had to, a subplot appeared and I wanted to go back in and write the start of it.  It was one session, but three rewrites:

1) The werewolves recounting their origin legend;
2) Rachel asking the smokin' hot Catholic priest for the 411 on St. Ninian (inserted into the holy water/corn dog scene)
3) The first appearance of Ethan Lancaster, Fascist Asshole

I do need a name for what's essentially the beginnings of my version of the White Council.  I mean, it's ok for Rachel to call them "Facists Assholes" but I highly doubt that's what's on their letterhead.

I'm editing as I go but then I know how to do that and keep all my words. I've been doing alot of writing and editing type stuff for fun for a long time. I'm no expert but somehow I can edit 1000 words out and still keep my quota. My friend wanted to know my secret. LOL

Ok -
7,000 words in one sitting is good.
7,000 words at 3:00 AM Monday morning and having to get up for work at 6:00 AM is not good.

Drated Muse.

Holy water/corndog scene?  Now, that I want to read!

[belial.1980]

It's a 17,063 word train wreck thus far.

I'm a quarter of the way through and my main character's mother has 4 names. It seems I kept forgetting what I'd called her and invented a new one each time she came in.

This is a new record for me. Last time it was only 3 different names for the same character after the whole month of writing. On the other hand, I had three different characters with the same name in that one, too.

I should take up drinking. I need an excuse for errors like that.

This last session I showed my bad guys what happens when you allow a low tech opponent to chose the playing field.

My defenders happily waded in and showed Johnny high tech that a rock can still kill you.... (Grin)

It's not as weird as it sounds, sadly.  It's a hypothetical corn dog.

[Kris_W]

  Now you must post that scene.

Passed the halfway mark last night!

[Cooper]

Got through 19,000 words and got confirmation I'm going to the Write-a-thon in San Francisco. Woot!

30550 last night, and I am in the middle of the "every thing I write is S**t" week two blues.....

I'm finally starting to hit my stride, I think! The story's sort of found it's identity. It's just a matter of competing with the rest of my extremely busy life right now.

[the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh]

...and now I am sick, and may not be up to writing this weekend either. 

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

I declare I am quitting.

Ture - I haven't been keeping up with my writing these last few days, but that's not why I'm quitting. I'm quitting because I just got an extra job that will have me working about 40-60 a week in addition to my Aflac stuff and rather than feel all conflicted about it, I'm just reorganizing my schedule and for the moment, NaNoWriMo (and some other things) has to go.

I'll try again next year.
