nano_writersWhatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And so it begins!
And whether pantster or plotter, now is the time to set your characters onto the twisty paths of your imagination that will carry them from desire to achieving their heart’s desire - or not. And in this quest, be sure to offer your hero the best challenges you can to test them and prove their worth of the prize that awaits them.
And so it begins!
Look beyond the words and let the story reveal itself page by page, from your hero’s ordinary world to the world of the extraordinary, of epic battles both outward and solitary within, to embrace the final resolution that resonates with thematic significance of those ideas that have guided your characters to this great final shining moment.
So it begins! Let’s go! Today’s word count is 1,667 words. Write, Nano Writer, write!

Date: 2011-11-01 05:17 am (UTC)136 words written right at midnight, and I still like the starting sentence as much as I did when I came up with it, so that's promising. :D

Date: 2011-11-01 06:07 am (UTC)Already done my daily word count, and I'm hoping that I can create a buffer quickly, because I know there are days I won't be able to do it.

Date: 2011-11-01 09:01 am (UTC)Done nothing yet. Off to work all day (where my boss might object to me writing), then to my tabletop game until late. Writing is going to have to replace sleep.

Date: 2011-11-01 09:25 am (UTC)Best part is, it turns out I'm writing an official history of my world from within the world (which I totally did not know until 100 words in), and the narrator is a snob and a kiss-up. And keeps getting edited by the royal spymaster. Fun times!

Date: 2011-11-02 10:41 am (UTC)Then shortly after the clock passed 1am on November 1st the muses started speaking to me. It wasn't long before words were pouring out and then suddenly I was officially in nano again.
This will be my 9th year. After last year's spectacular last minute effort and falling only 95 words shorts I have the desire to kick some serious nano-tail.
3089 words down. 46911 to go.
