This is just a quick check up post today. I won NaNoWriMo on
Sunday night and got fully validated. Now I’m desperately trying to reach
100,000 words by Friday. I managed a 10,000 day yesterday and I’m aiming for
the same again today.
The novel write of o.S.a.M is coming along well. I’m getting
down important parts and a fair bit of dialogue but I’m a little worried that I’ve
gotten too exposition-y. I’m working out stuff about Labolai and the world it’s
set in as well as the magic system as I go so I tend to write down every little
thing that I can think of. Actual world building is something that I plan to
work on once NaNo is over. For now I’m hopping between stories and different
chapter, starting a new one when I finally figure out how to start a new story
and going back to others when I figure out where it’s going.
I’ve also started a new novel, one that I just make up as I
go along. It’s an idea I got from watching too much Death Valley and I’m not
really sure if it’s actually going anywhere. I have fun, lots of fun with it,
just typing in any strange situation thing that I can think of and it fits
because the world it’s set in is crazy enough for it.
I’ve completely left the first story behind, just leaving it
sitting there on my hard drive. Sure I might go back to it at another point but
for now I’m just including it as a failed experiment. I’d need to go back and
take out the parts that are dares and work on the description and dialogue but
the bare bones are there. It helps that I didn’t keep working on it even after
I began to hate it. If I had done that there’s a good chance I would have
failed to win NaNo at all.
As it stands I am currently at 67,152 words. By the end of
tonight I hope to be at 77,000 or even possibly 80,000. How’s your NaNo going?
Keep Writing.
