I've had a good start
on Camp NaNo! My stats are as follows:
Words today: 2166
Words this month: 2166
Total words: 281,920
I'm still writing
beginnings for all of the characters I will be dealing with this
month. It feels nice, though, finally giving them space on the page
to breathe. They started off as background characters, spoken about
but rarely shown, and that made me sad. It bugged me from the get-go
that my novel seemed to be kind of male-dominated.
One thing I'm proud of
today is how much I've managed to get done despite spending so much
time on the PS3. I admit it, I am the sort of person who will spend a
whole day playing whichever game I'm currently addicted to - for the
last half a year or so it's been Final Fantasy XIV, but the beauty of
that game is that there can be quite a bit of dead time if you're
waiting for a dungeon; I like to spend this time writing.
Obviously I worry that
after today the motivation will begin to fade, but I hope that once I
get past all the beginnings and things I can do what I usually do,
completely lose the plot (literally) and start to actually have some
fun sending my characters all across the Multiverse and into the
weirdest of situations.
And of course there's
the thought of all those words that I'll have when this month is good
and done. Delicious words.
