NaNoWriMo 2011 - Day 11

Day 11 - 19 days remaining

Storytelling is about wonder.

— Laura Whitcomb



Today is 11/11/11 and to celebrate this palindromic event the likes of which we shall not see again for another hundred years, why not take our ElevenElevenEleven challenge!

Add eleven words to your story (as long as this sentence)!

Everyone’s day is super busy with work and school and real life characters, it can be hard to find the time to write but eleven words is easy right? It doesn’t have to be precise - eleven words and friends are good, even better! And if you find the challenge too easy, go for 111 words - the same number of words (and numbers) you see from the word “today” to here!

And if you find a paragraph or two to be an unworthy offering to honor the significance of the day then commit to 1,111 words which is only 556 words shy of a day’s writing (shhh… we won’t tell your significant other/boss/hungry child/lonely best friend that you’re spending time on your NaNoNovel - this is an 11/11 challenge right?)

Today’s word count is 18,337! Questions? Comments? Eleventh word of the day? 1,111th word? It’s all wonderful! So keep writing!

1,111th word was 'and', or possibly 'tell', I think. XD

Broke 25,000! JUST. And the site is promptly down for maintenance so I can't update. ^^; Also, I made it by Being Mean To The Poor Characters, and now I feel mildly guilty. XD

I remembered it was 11/11/11 as well as Remembrance Day this year! (I missed 10/10/10 last year until after midnight. ^^;) I guess now there's only 12/12/12 to notice before there won't be another date like that for almost a century... (I did, however, sleep through the silence at 11.11am, whoops. But I should be awake for it on Sunday...)

Cheers for 25K! Yeah! That's a beautiful beautiful thing! And nothing to feel guilty about. Just think of it as providing your characters a wonderful opportunity to show off how much they grown and how much wiser they've become if just a little ;-)

I like "and." My 1,111th word was "fallen" which is not very surprising as it's one of my "go to" words (yeah that's what I call my "probably overused but I'm on a roll and not checking the thesaurus again" words :-)

My 11th word today was "owlishly." My 11th word overall was "Tagonist", which is Anne's last name. Bet you can't guess what role she plays in this story. And I can't tell you what my 1111th word today was because I didn't have that many. <.

I am so stealing this name for my next story ;-)

No idea what my eleventh word was, but I got a lot done today, and I'm now into the second chunk of my story - I'm setting up a traumatic event for my poor protagonist, which I'll get to write tomorrow (well, today) :D
