My NaNoWriMo's Novel

"Disaster! Complete disaster! No matter how I imagined it I predicted everything going wrong, from all angles."

So begins Marty Day's journey. She trying to live a christian's life in a dangerous place and failing.

So far my word count for NaNoWriMo is 5,041

yeah I'm behind. But I have a plan. Put butt in chair and have an award program for reaching so many words through out the day.

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!

Later

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!

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!
