Camp NaNoWriMo August 2011 - Day 2

[ladyseishou]

Day 2 - 29 days remaining



A word is a bud attempting to become a twig.
How can one not dream while writing?
It is the pen which dreams.
The blank page gives the right to dream.

- 
Gaston Bachelard

So the hard part is behind us, right? We've conquered the "blank page" and have forged bravely ahead, planting the seeds of our hero's story to see what blooms in the weeks ahead. And don't worry if you think that you're only going to get weeds. Even the dandelion has its uses, its own charms. So write on Nano Writer! Write on!

The word count today is 3,225 but remember it's still really just 538 words three times over the day, a handful of words, barely enough to describe what your character's wearing or what he or she's doing standing at the kitchen sink holding that bloody knife...

Questions, excerpts to share, recipes for dandelion wine? It's all good! Keep writing, Nano Writer!

Right *cracks fingers* I wrote quite a lot yesterday. :p I think I've reached yesterday's goal. *strikes fist in the air* I might manage today's deadline. *crosses finger*

Anyone who wants to join a cabin? :-) I really should have asked that yesterday. *headdesks*

Managed 2,389 words of nothing for day one, and am a little shocked at myself. Did you know? Magic is the opposite of entropy. I didn't know either!

I've definitely hit my goal for the day, which is a good thing. I keep finishing scenes/chapters and having no idea where to go, though, since I decided to completetly set aside my old idea a few hours before this month's session began. I mean, I'm not a planner by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm usually not this big of a pantser, either.

Oh well, here's to exciting and random new writing adventures to come!

I'm actually right on track, which surprised me since I spent most of yesterday and today actually working out some of the big plot points. But I have a basic outline for the month and 3450 words on top of that, so I'm very happy!

Made my word count with just minutes to spare, which I'm pretty proud of seeing as how I didn't even get home until after 10:30. If I can manage it again tomorrow, I'll be even happier.
