NaNoWriMo 2011 - Day 8

[ladyseishou]

Day 8 - 22 days remaining

The relationship between hero and opponent
is the most important relationship in your story.

— John Truby



The name of the game is conflict, Nano Writer and as we begin the second week it may be worth keeping this in mind if it feels as if your story is slowing down. To rev things up, heat up the relationship between your hero and antagonist and take something from a simmer and an assessing look to a full head-on boil. And just when things seem good and done, turn the heat up again!

Bring the burn, baby! Today’s word count is 13,336! Questions, comments, favorite chilli recipe? Make it hot, Nano Writer! And keep writing!

I'd sort of had some conflict today, but this part is mostly about adjusting and renegotiation. The new mini-conflict is coming up very soon. >D

I have horseriding in this part, and I've never properly ridden one before. It made things...interesting but I got to watch some videos as research! :D

[ladyseishou]

Very cool! I love learning new things as research for book. Have fun with the upcoming conflict - your plot should start to pick up speed!

Finished the day on 17586, so I'm over the moon! :D My main character will have a bit of a run-in with two of the antagonsists in the next chapter, which will seem like a picnic compared with my dastardly plans for the rest of the novel *manic laugh* Poor Beth...

[ladyseishou]

A beautiful word count! You should be very proud! And cheers for upcoming dastardly plans!

21,025. *falls over* And, yeah, time to break out the wrist braces. (I'm pretty impressed with myself: it turns out that, when on the commuter train with NO INTERNET, I am surprisingly adept at managing 1000 words in 40 minutes...)

[ladyseishou]

Wow, a super fantastic word count! But minus points for any wrist pain you ignored! You might double check your wrist and hand position while you write on the train. But it's great that you discovered a chunk of time in your day that you can use to write! *cheers*

25,325! I had no inspiration until my husband got home (it would happen that way) so I feel bad about spending time writing when I told him I wouldn't, but he was playing video games anyway and didn't mind, and I reeeeally wanted to break 25k. Now it's bedtime and I'm wrapping things up for the night.

Also, I found you on NaNo.org. O.o Congratulations on your wordcount! Color me impressed. :D

[ladyseishou]

Yowza - love that word count! Cheers for whatever inspiration your husband brought home with him and it sounds like you both had a lovely evening - it's great when it works out so well that way (mine is busy reading a new book ;-)

Added you back as a buddy - hope that you don't mind. And thank you ^__^
