Yay! There's a fire in the writing forum again. I love NaNo. Congrats on everyone for sticking it through the first week. By my calendar, we should all be around 11,500 to keep in the game. As of last night, I'm sitting at around 22k, which is good because it finally lit a fire under me to forget perfection and just write Ashes. I hope to have it done before Thanksgiving. Mostly, I'm doing the slow chug on my workdays for the 1667 and going to town on my off days and lodging around 12k/week. I've realized though that there's no way I'll have this done in the 50k, its going to probably end up around 75k. Hopefully I can do it, all my plot line was pretty much thrown in the gutter, as was the first three chapters I had written prior to NaNo.
Now, I'm mostly doing a discovery write based on common sense and logic
I'm also finding that this is turning into more of a Y/A than my usual gritty stuff, which should be interesting because I've never written this genre and haven't read it in years.
