nano_writersThe land of literature is a fairy land to those who view it
at a distance, but, like all other landscapes, the charm fades
on a nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible.
— Washington Irving
The word count today is 21,671! Just that and a word about details, Nano Writer! They say the Devil is in the details but I say it's where the story comes alive. Add a dash of detail and your bland becomes grand! Your character might drive a red car but if he gets behind the wheel of a 2005 Black Cherry RX-8 Mazda, he'll be going places. And as a bonus, you'll reap a bit of plot or characterization as well as a handful of extra words for your count.
Questions? Comments? Cool detail to share? It's all good! So keep writing!

Date: 2012-11-13 01:12 pm (UTC)But, shitty life means lots of writing. Because I write off all my emotions. (Read: word count = 57025 ... OMG, that is the first time ever I manage to get my word count before the month is halfway... o_O)
I write what I feel. That also means , if life stays like this, my MC will not get the happy end I promised her...
You're amazing! Congratulations!
Date: 2012-11-13 11:35 pm (UTC)I hope that things get better and that you'll finish your story in the way that feels right. But in the meantime, take care of yourself and know that we're all very proud of your accomplishment! Take a bow! This badge is for you! *cheers madly and throws confetti*
Congratulations again!

Date: 2012-11-13 03:40 pm (UTC)Not entirely happy with this chapter though. I'm not entirely sure it works, and half of it is spent in astral realms and it's just ... weird. WELL. It makes sense in the story, and I suppose something had to happen to keep my werewolves busy, but, man, I did not want this, even if it was kind of necessary to help one of them recover. But my point remains. It's a bit boring to read. I'll either have to make it not!boring through revision or rewriting. We'll see once December comes.

Date: 2012-11-14 01:24 am (UTC)I also had half an idea about having IDK letters/diary entries from one of my MCs between the chapters, but we'll see. He writes the prologue that way, and IDK, it might not be a bad idea to have his thoughts from the future helping to structure what's going on.

Date: 2012-11-13 09:21 pm (UTC)Total word count: 40,016, of which 4,891 was written today, and I feel ready to collapse. I wrote 4k last Tuesday too -- it seems to be I do poorly on Mondays and then make up for it on Tuesdays so far.
