So, I few weeks ago I discussed To Nano or Not To Nano. At the time, weighing it all up, I thought I would go again. However, over the next few days I thought more about concentrating on a WIP that I really want to get out there, and while NaNo is fun and has …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 30 – Its All Over (A Final Extract)
Well done to everyone who has finished Nanowrimo this year. Now I need to think about what I’ll be doing for the next month to keep the updates on this blog. Hmmm. In the meantime, here’s a final extract from Am/Dram from the beginning of Act 3: “Let us begin at the beginning.” Gregory stood …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 28 – I Want To Go Back To There
One of the things that was going on this month alongside Nanowrimo was house selling and buying which we managed to do a couple of weeks ago. Now we have movers coming to pack before we move but the past 2 Sundays have seem me in the loft clearing it out. I’ll still need 1 …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 27 – The Morning After The Nano Before
So I’m not sure its sunk in yet that I won this year. I feel exhausted mentally but not overly tired even though I didn’t get to sleep until around 1am. Maybe that was because Holly let us sleep until almost 8, bless her. Maybe the lack of appreciation I feel for doing it is …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 26 Part 2 – 50,000 Verified and Done
Just verified at 50,118. The last 1,000 words were the toughest but I’m really feeling good now. And I sneaked it under the wire within 26 days. Off to sleep for a month now. Or maybe I’ll be back tomorrow to talk about next steps.

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 26 – Come Together
My prediction of at least 4,000 words for the new Chapter 20 didn’t quite manifest itself, but the 1,500 or so that it eventually evolved from did two things – took me over the 45,000 word mark and gave Del his moment of clarity when he discovered who killed Rebecca. That last point is so …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 25 – Counting Up and Down
As I start today’s session I’m at 41,513 words and only need to write 154 more to meet the overall scheduled target. I’m hoping to hit at least 2,000 as I’ve been doing over the past couple of nights to get back on track and a day (or more) ahead. This weekend is a big …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 24 – Like a fly in amber
So this evening I hit the to do list and wrote the rest of Mary’s history and it was painful, emotionally. I think that the relationship between Mary and here old friend Sarah, and how that was completely shattered by an act of kindness was one of the toughest things I have ever written and …

#Nanowrimo 2010: Day 23 – Catching up
I’m sure somewhere in the world its still 23rd November, so I may have sneaked this one under the wire. Anyway, still felt poorly yesterday but managed to rally 2000 words at the end of the day which kept me on track. It was doubly frustrating though as this was the first day where I …
