5,000 words in, first two chapters done, and a refinement on the cover. I'd count that as a good start

First off, MoeJoe, that is one awesome looking cover.

Secondly, I'm back baby!

I had some time to myself today and I managed to get my word count up to 15,000.

My MC is really starting to feel better about himself, he's gaining confidence and becoming happy. It's going to continue getting better for him for about 10,000 more pages or so, and then his life will crash down on him in a fit of horror and murder.

The master is back!!! MoeJoe I'm so glad you decided to join us! I'm not too happy about everyones word count though. =) I'm close to 13k and nearing the end of Act 1.

So far he's been shot down by nazi super mutants, damn near got killed by a big scary monster, found himself indebted to a vixen, lost his only friend down beyond the black, became brainwashed/cursed by the bad guy, and framed for murder.

Poor guy.

One of the Nano peeps drew up this super pretty cover for me.

I know. Credit goes to -Luna- over in the Nano forum =)
One day maybe I can get another MoeJoe original =P
Or at least the fancy icon he has in his bottom right corner.

Jaxx, what's your NaNo username? I tried to find you but couldn't. I'm using the same name as here. (and sitting around 13K, too.)

jaxx6166 · 11-07-2009, 10:15 PM

I thought I friended you. I added everyone that posted on the Nano MR thread. I'm on there. It's my screenie name, I've had it since I was like 9.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 11-07-2009, 10:18 PM

Not got much writing done today, but do have the whole thing plotted out. Now just need to fill in the blanks

You had added me, I just hadn't seen the "buddy of" screen since you did and I couldn't find you by your title.

jaxx6166 · 11-07-2009, 10:30 PM

Ah ha. Real life got in the way today and I didn't get much done yet. It's already 1030. Don't know if I'll get anything done at all going by this rate.

WTG Lemurion!

I pulled in just under 3K so far today - and I've got the hockey game in the background so I'm good for a few more.

Things took a great leap forward when I realized a character named Stig had to lose his ability to talk.
