Day 3 - 27 days remaining

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

- Toni Morrison



A good writing day, Nano Writer?

First, I would like to welcome all the brand new members that have come on board since Sunday to the Nano Writers Community! This month we're running in NaNoWriMo mode (see this post) so I'll wish you good luck and leave you to it!

Today the number to beat is 5,000. What was the first thing your protagonist said today? Excerpts? Concerns? Questions? Hugs?

Remember to keep writing, Nano Writer!

Hello. I be one of the n00bs to the comm, but not to NaNo. I just managed to break 10k today, which is a nice little buffer.

First thing my protagonist said today? *goes to check* "Oh, hello there. I was hoping you might turn up. We're back home now. I'm setting up my old workshop."

He is talking to his magical radio. Somehow, in experimenting with transmitting devices, the magic went wrong and he connected with some tiny radio station in 1973 where this bloke works as a producer/engineer. So it's basically him and his mate from 1973 having conversations about nothing in particular. It is good for word padding though. XD

I'm, er, writing steampunk. Or supposed to be writing steampunk. I am not sure it will be steampunk by the end of November, but we'll see. I'm letting it go where it wants to go, so it could end up as sci-fantasy-alternate-dystopic-historic-steampunk-of-doom for all I know. XD

A very good buffer indeed! Genre mashups are fun! I'm working on a fantasy/mystery thing myself or at least it's starting out that way - as you say, I plan to follow the muse where she take me!

Oh yes, especially with all the work I have to do this week to finish off the last couple of assignments for uni. And I've tried fighting the muse and the muse always wins. So I don't bother anymore. Writing is much easier that way, generally speaking.
