NaNo–Day 21

Sadly I only thought about my novel yesterday and didn’t write. I did have fun at the Write-In at Seed Coworking and boosted my word count. At the end of my writing session today, I have 40,921 words. It is strange to think that in less than 10,000 words, the first draft of this novel will be complete.

There is an amazing word analysis of novels by Suzanne Collins, Stephenie Meyer, and J.K. Rowling. It is neat to see what words and sentences are repeated. Check out the article here.

NaNo–Day 19

In my writing session this morning, my shipwrecked characters were either rescued or found the island. And in the process, one of my characters was blinded. My word count is now 36,186 words. I’m really looking forward to the Write-In tonight at Seed Coworking.

My characters are struggling to pass the third test. At 31,705 words, the novel is cruising along. Check out this NaNo video from John Green.

NaNo–Day 16

My word count is 28,149. I had an awesome time at Winter Wheat. Every panel I attended was amazing.

NaNo–Day 15

It is nice to see that my novel is 81 pages in Microsoft Word and has 27,412 words so far.

NaNo–Day 14

My word count is 25,108. And just because I am taking a watercolor class this month, my character’s random hobby is watercolor.

NaNo–Day 13

Today I didn’t have my pen and notebook with me, so I wrote eight notes on my phone (I have a limit of 300 characters). And today I got to use the line, “They were not alone” in a fantasy novel. My current word count is 23,760.

There is a Write-In at Seed Coworking on Tuesday, November 19, at 8 p.m. Check out the Facebook event here.

NaNo–Day 11

I participated in a Word Sprint on Twitter. Check out their page here. My word count is now 21,310.

NaNo–Day 10

Today I was late to the Write-In at Grounds For Thought, but I got a raspberry hot chocolate anyway and worked on my novel. Now I have 19,837 words. And I even painted apples for my watercolor workshop with Merrill Rainey. Then I made apple cobbler.
