NaNoWriMo 2011 - Day 16

Day 16 - 14 days remaining

For me, a page of good prose is where
one hears the rain [and] the noise of battle.

— John Cheever



How goes the battle, Nano Writers? Today’s word count is 26,672! If you find that you’re a little short today, you might go back and add in a sentence or two to give your scene a little atmospheric boost, a metaphoric pinch of weather or a slathering of sensory simile to bring the prose to life!

Questions, comments, most overused adjective ever? Apparently my story is overdone with “horrific” nouns - something else to add to my rewrite list ;-) But right now, it’s all good - so keep writing!

I seem to be using 'surprisingly' a lot; it's made it into OpenOffice's suggestion list, at least. (I am not ashamed of using adverbs... just of using the same one over and over again.)

There is no shame to be found in a rough draft other than one that remains incomplete!

Hit the halfway mark finally!

25166 / 50000 words. 50% done!

[ladyseishou]

Cheers! Well done!

37,310. :D

Most overused: soft.

[ladyseishou]

A staggering beautiful word count and I must say that your overused word is most intriguing... so many things may be soft...
