I passed the 20k mark last night. I have decided to raise my goal to a solid 100.000 words. I have done another 2000 words today so far, so I am right on track ;)
Ah. It has been November for 10 hours here. I got 1380 words down before going to bed "last" night. Now I am up and ready for more. I am hoping to get a bit ahead in the beginning, so I will have something to fall back on if anything should go wrong.
Happy writing everyone! :D
I have been letting it rest completely since the spring where I finished it.. It is not because I keep getting better ideas, it is more a lack of any great ideas at all.. Maybe I am getting bit too frustrated with it though.
Normally when I write a story the beginning just comes to me all on its own. I usually find that to be the easiest part, in fact. But then I started editing this short story I wrote in the spring; I have been rewriting the beginning over and over again over the last couple of days, but I just...
I used to do this as well (though in my Danish work), but I abandoned it because when I confronted my writer's group with it, they had trouble seeing where it came from and only thought of it as random nonesense :(
Wow... I really do think too much.

I have come out of the habit of making up my own names for characters. I used to do that all the time, now I simply use ones that already exist but are very uncommon.
When I write in Danish I always use Old Norse names and when I write in English I always use Old English names. I think it adds...
I agree with this statement.
My boyfriend is a mucisian as well. We often compare our writing processes and find that they are not that far apart. He understands the process but not the more technical things involved. So he is supportive and never criticises or questions the way I do some...
Okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me!
I will just be jumping forward to the second part of the story then and write it like it is going to be a separate book (which it actually might be depending on the length). Not that it should matter, but I do like to try and follow the rules when I...
So, I have been thinking about this alot lately, and, call me a pessimist, have come to the conclusion that in life there is no such thing as a happy ending. So why should books have happy endings?
I, for one, don't seem to have the heart to write a happy ending. I find that happy endings...
Aldyth coughed yet again and cursed the thick layer of dust that hung in the air around the carriage. She was filled with emotions, squirming around in her head and so mixed up that she could hardly tell them apart. She was weary from the long journey and wished that it would end soon, but she...
In Ermengard lay the citadel of Willoughby to the west, dwelling in the outskirts of a great forest that had once surrounded the city on all sides, but which had now been hewn away on the western side to allow not only the men on the high towers, but all the dwellers of the city alike to look...
Hey, I have a question!
I am seriously thinking about doing this nano thing this year (for the first time), but do you need to start a new story or does it still count if you write 50,000 words on your ongoing novel project?
I was at first thinking about writing something completely new, but...
