NaNoWriMo – Day 7

So, this year, I decided that I would start NaNoWriMo on day one. For once. So I did. I managed to get out around 1,670 words.
Without having any idea what I was writing about. And as much as I’ve done that in the past and loved it, for some reason, this year, I was really [...]

NaNoWriMo – Day One

Well, it’s Day One of NaNoWriMo… I thought I’d try and get my month of writing off to a good start by actually writing something on the first day this time.
So, I have.
1,670 words.
Still have no idea what my story’s about, though.

Star Trek, Seaquest, and NaNoWriMo (oh, and I, Robot)

In Short: Star Trek, is awesome. And now mine. Seaquest is still awesome, all these years later (and Lucas is still hot). NaNoWriMo is on the horizon, and locked in my calendar. It looks like I’ll be focusing on Science Fiction this year. Oh, and I, Robot is also awesome.
 
Not In Short:

Formerly of Finchley

“Aslan, I’m not who you think I am.”
“Peter Pevensie, formerly of Finchley.”

Now, maybe I’m stretching it a bit in places, but I really, really love this quote from the latest film version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Because it says so many things in just two lines. So many things which I [...]

Nanowrimo Complete!

Well, I’ve done it!
51,935words, and the story (or part one anyway, there’s definitely heaps of room for a sequel!) is complete!
So, now I have these nifty little winner pictures, and a certificate… which means I need to decide on a name for my story. Why is it that after writing 50,000-odd words, it’s always coming [...]

Nanowrimo…

50,583!
Yes, that means I reached the target!
I do have to finish up my story… which means writing one more main scene, but I should have time to do that tomorrow (today really… just later on, after I’ve gone to sleep and woken up again!).
So while I’m really happy to have hit 50,000, I don’t feel [...]

another Nanowrimo update…

Here I am, yet again, sitting down at my computer and thinking about the number of words I have left to write.
It’s day twenty-eight. Which means that I have about two and half days left in which to hit 50,000 words.
I’ve already written almost 6,000 words today and my fingers were complaining after that so [...]

Nanowrimo Update…

I realise I haven’t really been blogging that much (not that I have a track record of blogging all that much), so thought it was time to add another post.
It is day 26 of November, which makes it the 26th day of Nanowrimo.
I have 31,120words.
That means I only have 18,880words and 4 days (not including [...]

Searching for a Hero

I watched King Arthur again last night.
It’s one of those films that just make me want to write. And blog about them. A bit gory for my tastes, but it still leaves me full of ideas and inspiration, etc.
And so I was thinking (as I often do after watching films like that). I was thinking [...]
