Na-numb-wri-mo

[altivo]

Replaced a broken gatepost this afternoon, and wasted a good part of the morning on computer nonsense.

Slow progress on the writing just now, so I'm a good day behind where I'd like to be. But I'm still plotting things out. To be honest, I'm not yet sure how to wrap certain elements together, but I'm sure I'll work it out eventually.

Gah, that's exactly where I'm at on NaNo too. My excuse is that I had a concert to perform in yesterday, but unfortunately I'm about three-quarters of a day ahead of you, meaning I've even more behind than you are :P

I don't plot things out very far in advance other than vaguely because I know damn well that my characters would rebel if I did.

I'm still behind where I want to be too, I've been having a hard time sitting down and doing it this year.

Remember, the story belongs to you, not ninowrimo.

Oh sure, but I'd still like to make the 50K word deadline.

I keep falling asleep when I get to it, that's the problem. I'm afraid I'll forget the stuff I want to put in before I get it written.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I'm behind you as of this evening I think.

[saythename.livejournal.com]

You already have.

That was last year. The brain requires constant exercise to prevent atrophy.

Be careful not to hurt yourself if you try your claws on it. That recycled log is really hard.

Hey, I'm right (write) there with you. I still don't know who has the missing encryption key or how the religious splinter group is going to get taken down. And, as author, I have the distinct feeling that I should know these important plot pieces...

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, we're really close then. I've got an encryption issue too, except it's a red herring, and a religious group. Uh oh, do you think this is overused? ;p

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

Oh I wouldn't do that it would ruin the paint :)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

No paint. You won't hurt the post, at least not now. Maybe in seven or eight years it will have weathered enough so you can make a dent in it.

[saythename.livejournal.com]

I think you nailed it.
