Oh My NaNoWriMo!
Word Count: 55, 435 of 50,000
Officially surpassed the NaNoWriMo word count goal today! We’ve been making exciting leaps and bounds in the story. It’s fun discovering things that work themselves into the plan, but are entirely unplanned.
I find that that is very helpful when it comes to writing. Allowing for surprised. New characters spring themselves into the story, adding flavor to “boring but necessary” scenes that come in between the big events of the story.
Does anyone else find their characters running into unexpected, yet great turns? They don’t necessarily effect the plot, but they add a dimension that wasn’t there in the planning stages. It’s exciting.
I have tomorrow off from the J. O. B. I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of writing done. My goal is 10,000 words for tomorrow alone, but that is pending on getting other things done as well. Gotta write with Rosie for a bit, I want to pound an article out for the site, and I have to get some reading in.
I’ll probably read tonight. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is rather entertaining.

I know it. I think the fact that they are having fun is why I’m speeding right along with it. I can’t wait to fuse this into the beginning of the story, that way the reader has some steam to get through the couple rough, but necessary chapters. It’s just plan terrible what they go through…but it’s awesome storytelling.
