WC: 10062 - I made it to 5 digits!!!

Wow, taking 12 days off just doesn't seem like the smartest thing to be doing when trying to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. But, I did it anway. Now I will pay for it.

Like tonight, over 3,000 words in under 3 hours. Knowing that I'm going to have to do the same thing when I get home from work and hopefully be inspired enough to make the 19th a 10,000 word day overall. Ha, good luck with that.

Anyhow, here are the newest chapters in the story (pdf files):

• Chapter 6
• Chapter 7

If you haven't started the novel yet, the full 23 page pdf is on the right side of the page here, you could choose to check that out as well.

I'll be back tomorrow (tonight)!

WC:6610 - Now it's kickin

Tonight has been deemed "try like hell to catch-up" night. I haven't had a chance to write at all with work and the election and other nonsense things that I can use as an excuse. Tonight though, I raised the word count by more than double, so there's something to be happy about.

If you so choose, here are the links for the pdf files if you would like to read them:

• Chapter 3
• Chapter 4
• Chapter 5

WC: 2754 - Chapter 2 Complete

I waited and waited and waited, then finally at around 3am started typing, not really sure yet where I was going with the story. But chapter 2 ended up adding a lot more to the plot, giving me a solid possibility to work with. The best part is that I have a few different ways to work it in with chapter 1 later, so we'll see.

Anyhow, dialogue was finally introduced. In fact, that's almost all that it is, one long (interesting) conversation. If you read it, feel free to praise me, criticize me, scold me, etc....

I've also added a link on the right to download the cumulative work in pdf format. Seperate chapters will remain in the posts for now.

Hmmmm

Yup, so I almost pulled the pdf down this morning and quit all together... It's scary tossing unfinished stuff out to the blogger masses. Must remind self "no chance of failing, at least I'm trying".

WC:1402 - Chapter 1 complete

Well then, I didn't think it was really going to take me 3 hours to write the first 1400 words, but I in all fairness I did have a few distractions that kept me from concentrating. Right now the story involves the narrator, or whatever you call those first person folk, driving in a car, fighting through the many random thoughts that appear when one does so.
