Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.

#193 | |||
Haven't hit the 30k mark yet. School assignments had priority but I beat last year's 5k, and got almost all of the manuscript edited. Just left with a section on travel that I'm not sure if I want to include, really, and then finishing off some of the newer material that I incorporated over the month.

Congratulations Quiet Man Cometh! It's always such a great feeling to do better than the previous year.
Editing is a long and slow process. I find that I keep growing as a writer and by the time I've edited my work, I want to re-edit it because I've learned more about the craft. I haven't learned the "good enough" stance yet. :P | ||||

Well I wrote this back in 2013, so there's been time for me to forget what I wrote and approach it with new eyes. I've never proofread it either so that needed to be done. I've decided that I'm going to pass this to my aunt to be my "editor" because I'm not sure if I'm going actually try and publish it, or just print a few copies. Since it's about family, I'd like to have someone give me a different perspective on what the 'fallout' might be, particularly with extended family that might be in there.

That sounds like a smart idea. Fresh eyes are always helpful, especially when there is potential fallout.

maybe for next year, i'll do what i'd orginally thought for 2014: i have an unfinished novel i started *ahem* a lonnnnnng time ago, and it's about 2/3 of the way done. even though what i've written so far doesn't count; and even though i may not have 50,000 words by the end of the month - i'll finally have finished my novel that's been in progress since 199... oops, i didn't say that! XD

It's that time again!
I've actually got an idea this year! Annoyingly, I had written up an outline and a sketch for the intro, but I lost it in a botched system transfer. >_< Oh well. It's a good enough idea that I remember what it all was. I'll be starting a thread dedicated to the story once I start writing it. Anyone else participating this time around?

Heh, wow, you are a rebel, the rules specifically say you're not allowed to do that. XD
I wrote out the prologue for my story already, but I wasn't going to count it in my word count. Of course, now I can't use it at all, because it got lost in that system transfer. Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)

there's even a badge for Rebel, too XD
i changed my spreadsheet i use for this year - so now i get my word count from google docs, pop it into the cell, and the formula tells me how many words i've written since the beginning. right now, i've only written 532 new words. XD on the other hand, i KNOW i won't get 50,000 written, BUT i'll finally have finished the thing.... it's been since mumblemumble97mumblemumble.....

Since 2001 for me. I didn't even know about NaNo when I was in high school.

oh cool!
*subscribes to thread* my google docs link should allow comments to be left: Timeless Dance keep in mind: chapters 1-17 were completed. ch 18 had been started, what's now ch 20 was just labeled "Last Chapter" and is about half completed. there are my notes where i'm currently writing, for ch 19, and at the end of it as to what i want to write and include. that's to prompt my swiss cheese memory(tm) and fill in all the holes. XD also: time travel romance. just saying. the explicit scene is in chapter 14.
