NaNoWriMo 2023 Progress Thread!

Okay this'll be the actual post

This Nano I'm writing a sorta-planning sorta-novel thing for my WIP Blue Cataclysm. It's halfway between a book and a very detailed description of everything that happens.

I'm planning on doing the traditional 1667 words a day, 50k for the month challenge for NaNoWriMo. This thread will just be where I post how many words I got, how I felt about it and my favourite line/s I wrote that day!

November 1st, I've written 1715 words today, and I'm hoping to get some more words in after dinner!

I felt good about today, I tried a little idea of letting myself eat one m&m per 100 words and that somehow motivated me to get it all done. I'm going to try and make a ritual or something to get me into the mood for writing.

Today's snippet thingy:

He didn’t know what he was going to do to get information out of him, since he could tell by the state of Era’s neck that threatening to slit his throat had already been attempted, to no avail. If he wasn’t even willing to admit his own name under threat of death, what else was there to try?

(I swear the rest of BC isn't this dark it just starts off kinda intense)

No one talk me

I upset at my college program

Been thinking about migrating back to an old persona design. She’s a little lump of lightly-chewed bubblegum who wears a poncho made out of a gum wrapper. She’s named Goobiedoo.

In other news, enjoy this update on The Present is a Gift’s NaNoWriMo progress!

Current Nanowrimo status:

Yeah, it's going well. Had a day with almost 6.5K words because of a twitch writer's event this weekend.

Only a few more days of NaNoWriMo and it's been going great! Thought I'd share my progress as I continue to work towards the big 240K!

Exciting NaNoWriMo Progress!!

So, my goal for Nano was to finish rewriting my first novel Essance: The Liar, and I'm so happy to say I did it. With 9 Australian days to go, I reached my Nano goal.

E:TL is finally finished baby!

We've got some new scenes with our favourite (or least favourite) characters, some jazzy new elements, and just as much blood and guts as before--with a little bit of romance somewhere along the way.

And I'm really proud of it.

Now what do I do?

[clarislam]

I wrote a lot for NaNoWriMo so far, but I quickly realized that I have a problem: I didn't plot enough beforehand. 

I know how the story begins and ends, those bits are partially written. But what do I do in the middle? Hmm...
