Nano and Life notes
Nov. 13th, 2010 06:51 pmLife: The turned the heat on at work this week, so just my toes are freezing off and I don't have to wear my coat inside. Seriously, it was a frigging freezing in there, to the point my hands were feeling arthritic. Otherwise not much happened.
Nano: Has been pushing along nicely. As of today I'm about 5 words short of the halfway mark, and I'm about three days ahead of schedule going by the nano calculator. I'm fairly impressed with myself. I don't think I've ever put this many words in such a short time. I've consistently finished at least above the minimum, though I haven't managed anything like my first day when I put in almost 2500 words. Only downside is that at least during the work week I don't really have time to play any games on the computer. If I can manage a slower pace after NanoWriMo is over, maybe 500 to 1000 words today, I've got confidence that I can actually complete an original novel in a reasonable amount of time.
Now if I could just format it correctly and find an agent...
It helps that I finally figured out what my very vaguely thought out plot macguffin was going to be, thanks to some brainstorming on the part of the sjgames.com forum when I entered a technical question. Hurrah for steam geeks. :)
