almost finish!

I'm almost finish with my long outline. Some of you might call it the first draft. I have my reasons for calling it my long outline. For one thing there are a few scenes that have only a few lines down so I have the basic idea down. The whole time I'm writing this outline I'm thinking don't critique, don't worry about spelling, don't change that sentence because it boring with the word was in it, just don't, GET THE IDEA DOWN, WRITE, WRITE and WRITE some more.
So now I'm about to write the aftermath. The slow part that lead to the words THE END. I'm telling you I had a hard time writing the last few scenes knowing my story about to end. Now I realize I'm not finish and really its not the end of my time with this story. We still have a long journey together.
So after I write THE END, I'm going to straighten everything out, then let other people critique this story.
I have no clue who I'm going to pick.
I need someone who
give good feedback
tell me what good
tell me what bad
tell me what don't make sense
Will not tell me I'm insane LOL
someone I can trust
So far I have written 33,202 words.

Black Moment Mmmhahahaha

Just wrote my first black moment! My characters are doom! mmmhahaha! I'm official being an evil writer!
Really
I don't feel this way. I'm having an hard time being mean. Yeah, yeah I know my characters much now feel all is lost and my job is to make them feel that way. I just wrote the all is lost in love part, now i need to write my heroine is scared, hopeless and see no way out part.
I'm also thinking...
I'm almost finished!
While I'm happy to have my first full first draft finish, I'm sad. And all the stuff going on in the world doesn't not help with this feeling.
I'm sad because... well it almost the end of my book, and... it hard to explain it a writer's thing. I think. I tried to tell my Mama. She rolled her eyes. lol. And I think I have been talking to much about word count and being in the middle of the story. I don't tell her my story. I find when I try to explain my story while writing it, the story doesn't make any sense to anyone but me. lol

Anyway I just wrote the beginning of my first black moment!
about 31,000 words. (yes, its a little shorter then I planned.)

I must except that Christmas shopping, church gatherings, and family together time is going to get in the way of my writing time.
Oh I'm having fun!
It just when I write down my word count or writing report I'm like "blah!"

pulling weeds

Annie feel she is pulling weeds instead of words from her head.

Yeah my story is going slow right now.
The good news is my story still moving forward. I hope it'll pick up speed soon.

Wow what a view!

Hi people!

You ready for the News!

Drum roll, please!

I'm there!

I'm at the point of no return!

The middle!

The very middle of my story!

Marty has to decide to save her father or run (if not for the rest of her life, for a very long time).

Ok, I know that 22,734 is not half of 50,000 but this is the middle of my plot.

I'm so happy!

Do a little dance!

I'm finish for the day. Plan to write some more tomorrow!

NaNoWriMo is Over...

I finished NaNoWriMo with over 15,ooo words. While I didn't win NaNaWriMo, I still feel good about the word count I ended up with!
I started my story again for NaNo. My story is better then before. I changed from 3rd person point of view to 1st. Good thing too, I didn't have a clue how to write my hero's point of view. I have a new beginning I feel good about.

A few things I learned my writing from my NaNoWriMo 2008 experince.
A outline is a good thing to have. I planned my chapters, some of those chapters are blank
Plan the next chapter, scene alittle before sitting down to write.
Drink lots of coffee. (It's a bad habit. Do not start this one unless you have too)

Now any new writers reading this keep in mind this is how I write. You need to learn what work for you, trust me I'm still learning what work for me! LOL!
This is the fastest I ever written 15,000 words.
Feels good!
