Blowing off dust...

*whoosh*

Hello!

I'm back for more. These last couple of years have been a writing dearth for me. But, but, BUT, I'm coming off a really good writing month in October (nearly 30,000 words!) and I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo in November. I'm even, for the first time, pushing myself out the door to go to some of the write-ins my local chapter of NaNoWriMo is doing.

So hopefully, I'll do well! I'm thinking I'm finally going to tackle the original idea I had ages ago and have been tossing around ever since.

I'm also hoping (on the side) to keep up with my momentum on my other story that is fanfic related so I can finish it before I run out of chapters to post. Heh.

I'm right in the middle of a 90,000/90 day challenge with some fellow authors---to write 90,000 words between October 1 and December 31st. Almost 30,000 words done so far! Whoo-hoo!

I'll try to get over here and post word totals as I go along. :) Let me know if you're participating this year and have a blog somewhere. I'll link you! :)

Go, go, GO! :)

*sigh*

Unfortunately, life has kind of gotten away from me this time.

I think I've written about 10,000 words this month, some original, some fanfic. So--better than I thought, anyway.

But there isn't any way I'll get to 50,000 by Monday night.

Maybe next year, I'll have more enthusiasm for it!!

Day 2 Continued!

1689 is my total for today for my original story.

So I'm up to 3369 for the original story and 2609 for Secret of the Mansion.

Not too shabby for two days' work.

Although I really am going to have to get more...I don't know. Something between my two main characters to make them less vanilla. Bah. *G*

Hope everyone is doing well on Day 2!

Day 2

Slow goings so far!

I contracted with myself to get 6 pages of the Secret of the Mansion done each day. I did 9 pages yesterday, which left me with only 3 to do today, 1 3/4 of which involves Trixie without Jim and Honey, so I didn't have too much writing to do there. *grin*

So, total word count for Mansion today: 576

I have done about 400 words so far of my original story. I'm trying to drum up enthusiasm for writing more. The 400 words have mainly been rewrites and additions into the part I wrote yesterday.

I have a plot, but I'm just trying to get it moving.

Okay. Just did some exercising. I figure--perhaps if I do a little physical, it'll help stir the mental.

One can only hope, eh?

More later.

Day 1 - Continued!

Hurrah! I managed to make myself churn out 1680 words on my non-fanfic story. I have some characters who intrigue me, so that's good. They're agents, recruited to help solve the murder of their beloved superior. And, of course, they have a past romantic history between them that may cause them problems. *G*

This story is what I'm actually "counting" for my total. I'm just trying to drag Secret of the Mansion along the way.

But my, that was hard to get those words out. I'm so distractable!

1680 down, though! A good first day!
