buzzing high!

Yesterday, I wrote more on my story than I had in a while! I'm buzzing high with this knowledge! Of course I'm drinking coffee at the moment, its helping with the buzz feeling.

Yesterday I wrote 2,227 words!
Yesterday I read an acticle by a NaNoWriMo writer who wrote her 50,000 words in 10 days!
How she do that?
She tried to beat her day before word total.
So I decide each time I sat down to write (I write about 30 minutes at a time) I'll tried to beat the word count from the sit down before. Ended up writing between 200 - 600. Each time beating the word count from before!

I now have 8,771 words!
If I keep this up I'll have over 25,000 words by the end of NaNoWriMo!
And have a good start to Sweating with Sven!

A blog to encourage writers (Surviving NaNoWriMo Day 6)

No, I have no idea what encourages writers to write, or what encourage you to write. Today surfed my favorite blogs looking for an encouraging blog to help me start writing today.
Here what I realized.
Get your fanny in the chair and finger's tips on the keyboard!

There my encouragement for any writer who happen to visit this blog.

I now have 1200 words so I'm off to write!

Surviving NaNoWriMo Pre-day

In 12 hours Nation Novel Writing Month START!
Yes I have sign up again.
This is my 3rd try.
I also sign up for Sven's 70 days of sweat writing challenge. This is my back up plan in case I don't finish 50,000 words at the end of November.

I started an outline to help me write and the story changed. Well the beginning changed. It became longer and hopefully more interesting. So I decide to keep to planning my story and then write the new version for NaNoWriMo. I will make it to THE END!
i will
i will
lol
oh and i wouldn't really start until Monday. People over this weekend. I doubt I'll get any writing done.

more later
Maybe on Monday

It is not writer's block!

As I’m writing lately two quotes keep running thought my head. Both of them I have said numerous times on this blog. One is in fact on the sideline.
The first one is “But if you make progress on your book each and everyday, isn’t that what counts?” written by Jaci Burton in one of her blogs for 70 days of sweat.
I have been trying to write my story so I can have it finish at the end of the month. Why? So I can start a new idea for NaNoMo. This mean I have to write about 1200 words a day. Not have much luck with that.
Here my week starting Wednesday Oct. 1
Wednesday – 372
Thursday – 0
Friday – 6
Saturday – 492
Sunday – 42
Monday – 0

Tuesday - 0

See those zeros? On those days I’m staring at the blank screen, notebook paper, or print-out thinking WHERE TO GO NOW??? This leaded to the next quote.

“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after if with a club!” Jack London

I’m bad about waiting until a scene pop into my head, and then I write.

I have found a few things to help me. One thing I’ve tried is to set a goal for my heroine and I write her to it. She gets into trouble on the way, of course.
As I try new ideas for getting the story moving I’ll tell about them here.

Later,
Annie

My Book. Keep Faith

Today I decided to tell a little about the story I'm writing.

It's a young adult novel.
You could call it a Christian's story.
It's place in the future.
I think it seem more fantasy then sci-fi.
Heroine's name is Marty.
Right now the Hero's name is Will but I think I need to change his name. Hard to write sentences like "Will will go to the store" with that name.


My word count has gone down I edited some scenes out and are now writing the replacement scenes
of course one scene I cut out I now think I'll more it to the end.

The goal has been moved farther back

I have decided to move the goal of finishing my novel to sometime in October. Turned out the plot I had planned is not strong enough so I'm now re-reading my story. I'm asking myself if I was the reader of this story what questions would I have. As the writer I'm going see how I can answer these question.

See I'm farther in my story then I ever arrived before. I normally quit the story before this point so I'm stuck. I'm scared. I sit frozen in front of the computer thinking "is this story good enough?" "Is what I have written so far good?"
The good news
I don't what to just start another story. I mean if I do that I start at word zero again. And after so much work on this story I'm not quiting. I'm giving my permission to write .... (can't think of a word to put here that is not a curse word.) oh yes I stole the idea of self permission from berry path's 's blog she wrote months ago.
