NaNo Status

So far, I have managed to get to fifteen thousand words for my NaNo even though I haven't really been feeling motivated about it the past two days. Maybe it's because the chapters aren't really doing much other than setting an atmosphere. I guess. Although I have run into a bit where I might have to wing it until I can find something official.

One of my characters is a sharp-shooter and carries a rifle with her. Right now, she's in a situation where she's competing against others who are skilled in shooting targets. I, myself, have never held a gun or a rifle. The only thing I have seen is in movies or shows on how things are held. So, this could be interesting right now. I can just go back later and elaborate on it if it's wrong. But if I want to do anything with this story, that's one of the things that I'll have to clean up.

I can only thank the different places that offer word sprints that I can boast a word count that is a day or so ahead of schedule right now because I don't know how I would have done it other wise.

NaNo and Mini NaNo

Well for not having a concrete idea, I did okay. I ended the day with a little over the standard total. I've also signed up for a Mini NaNoWriMo where you pick how many words you want to do a day for the month of November and do that. So, I figured, why not roll what I'm working on for ROW80. A minimum of 250 words a day would net me 7500. So that's half my goal for ROW. If I go a little over, all the better, eh?

Jane and the Fae


4125 / 7500 words. 55% done!

NaNoWriMo


1728 / 50000 words. 3% done!

Mini NaNoWriMo


450 / 15000 words. 3% done!

The top and the Mini are connected together. I have a lot of half finished stories so my goal is to try to finish one or two of them.

My main NaNo is doing all right. I'm not feeling very strong right now about my story but hopefully something will pick up, or like I made a joke about on the NaNo forums, I'll just do a Cthulhu short. :) Give out a little Lovecraftian tentacle love.
