Singularity '08

July 03, 2008

4208 words

I've introduced my 3 master characters (although one of them we don't know recognise who he is yet), 2 major characters and 2 minors, as well as setup 3 main strands of plot and a sideplot.
It's all so rough it's embarrassing but I'm determined to get down as many different scenes as possible to create progression. I figure dialogue can always be smartened up later on.

So, yup, 4208. Just need to write another 800 tomorrow and Paul can't hold me to tidying the bedroom. Though I almost certainly will anyway cos my mum is visiting for the weekend and we all know what mums think about messy bedrooms, right?

Writing update.

First day of writing (there are 31 days in July, so I spent yesterday writing out my big ol' characters and scenes for future reference) and I've done 1658 today - one prologue and one half of a chapter.
I should probably point out that my book is for ages 9+ so it will be shorter than an average novel but I think children's fiction is much harder to get right than adult so I hope I'm up to the challenge.

So, yes, 1658.

50,000 words in a month

Writing2 So, hello July.
I took a wee break from my blog as I was busy but now I'm back with an exciting project.
For 4 years I have planned to write a book. The trouble was no great idea for a book materialised. Now I have one, so I'm going to follow the NaNoWrMo plan and do my first draft in 30 days. Normally one does this in November but November is always full of making Christmas gifts for me.

I went to the my local library and picked up the 'no plot? no problem' kit by the author who started NaNoWrMo and it's full of fun motivational tips so hooray for that. I urge any of you to comment, twitter, email, text me to ask about how much I've written so I keep going.

I'll be posting regular updates and maybe even short excerpts of the least clunky bits so please cheer me along.

What's it about? Well, the more eagle-eyed among you here might have noticed some odd additions on my daily linkroll outside of our normal craft/art/Ace Attorney fangirl schedule ...

Here goes nothing.
