NaNoWriMo 2012 - Day 7

[ladyseishou]

Day 7 - 23 days remaining


The human desire to know why is as powerful as the desire
to know what happened next, and it is a desire of a higher order.

— Janet Burroway






Today's word count is 11, 669! And we're coming up on the end of the first week! How's everyone doing? Has your protagonist taken that first important step away from what's comfortable, venturing out into the unknown in pursuit of some overwhelming desire or need?

Hold onto that desire, keep it up front and in your sights as we move into our second week of writing to stave off the infamous NaNoWriMo doldrums, still waters of doubts and don't-wanna's.

Because you can do it Nano Writer!

Questions? Comments? Excerpts to share? So what happens next? It's all good - so keep writing!

Hit 15k! And I spent a couple of hours PLANNING ALL THE THINGS because I absolutely needed to know the exact route my characters are taking to find the werewolves, and by extension, how long it would take. Have been quite generous and given them about 4 1/2 months to do so at a guestimated average of about 5-7 miles a day. Well, I do have a small-and-not-very-fast car, a not-very-fast bull, and two not-very-fit blokes in their 50s. I have all the awesome hero-types! :D

I'm not going to write about every stop they make, but there are some that will get covered, if only because they're important/they might meet someone/I need to show where they're going somehow. Perhaps only the semi-big abandoned cities that have escaped burninating, at least for now.

But hey, I was very kind to them today. I let them find a cart! So now my bull can work as an oxen and pull that cart and things might go a little faster. Yeah! :D

Maybe I'll have a wheel break somewhere out in the arse-end of nowhere. Woo drama! XD /this is what I get for taking the 'ALL THE TINY COUNTRY VILLAGES' route. :D

A wonderful word count! And three cheers for planning ahead! But poor Mr. Bull having to pull that cart! Sounds though like you picked just the right road to take :-)

It's his own fault; he offered to carry their stuff. :P
