NaNoWriMo Day 19: Pulling Ahead

 Word count: 34,661

I had all Sunday, but my wordcount increase wasn't as great as last week's because I was writing a pretty crucial scene and got jammed on it. Out comes the notebook, and two-and-a-half pages of longhand later, I've figured out what happened in what order. It flowed pretty well from there. Then I got to the end of it and realized I'd missed a particularly important plot point and had to poke in some seeding on it in the parts I'd already written. (Hey, it's more words.)

Thanksgiving will be my next big grind, and the Sunday that follows, and the rest of the days I'll make time around work and other obligations. I think I can pull it off.

First line of the day: “So, Bill,” he says. “I’ve never known a Bill before. That should make it easy to remember. What do you do?”

Last line of the day: “What if we did it for charity?” Ethan suggests. “Put the rights up for auction—within certain limitations, of course—and give the money for, I don’t know, the International Library Fund or something.”

Bad summary: The best man is insatiably curious about the bride's side of the family, which makes the rehearsal dinner a bit weird. Wedding goes off with only a few hitches.

Makes sense in context: "How secure do you want this thing on your head?”

NaNoWriMo: The Aftermath

 I made it! That's really the overall feeling that comes out of this year's effort--I made it. How did I manage this with a full-time job? I know I've done it, repeatedly. But this year it was harder than it's been in a while. I lost a couple of evenings doing things that were not writing, and that days that I did write were under 1,000 words for a long stretch. One day, I only wrote 93 words. But I persisted, had a couple of high-volume days, and hit 50,000 a few days before the 30th.  The story is nowhere near complete--my outline is 26 chapters, plus epilogue, and I left off at the start of chapter 19. My master plan is to return to Christophina's Garden , create a new outline for what's been written and what has yet to be written, and then finish the thing!  After that, I'll finish up Christophina's Moon  and then work on revising all three books simultaneously to sift out the continuity errors. If I'm clever enough, I may be able to come up with

NaNoWriMo Day 30: The End

 Wordcount (final): 52,176 First line of the day:  She’s asking so she can cash in on the hype while it’s still hyping. Last line of the day:  I look at the texture I’m working on, put Lenny in my pocket and go to the guest house. Bad summary: Young woman has phone conversation with art dealer. Makes sense in context:  I feel stupid the moment I ask that question.

The Myth of Time

One of the common myths that stands between people and completed manuscripts is the myth of 'time.' I'm sure you've heard it. "If I just had the time , I'd be able to Write My Novel." But our time is a limited resource, consumed by forty-hour-a-week jobs with hour commutes each way and all the other obligations of the business of living. If only, one sighs, one could have time to oneself, time to write without all those pesky distractions, then one could finally write that novel that one has been promising oneself that one would, one day. One is, of course, bullshitting oneself. The beautiful thing that NaNoWriMo did for me--and, I'm sure for many others--is thoroughly debunk that myth. The raw material for the novel I'm trying to hammer into a publishable form was drafted in the space of two separate months of do-or-die typing (supplemented with some scribbling to allow me to keep the plot on track) while still holding down a job and everyt
