NaNoWriMo 2010: The Shaking Lands
11:30pm, October 31st. I’m waiting around for the proverbial clock to strike midnight so that I can rattle off a few hundred words to get a score on the board for this year’s NaNoWriMo. This year I’m going to write … Continue reading
NaNoWriMo Wrap-Up
Well, that’s another NaNo down. This year 167,354 people signed up. Of them 98,045 wrote more than one word, and 32,166 ‘won’ (defined as writing 50,000 words or more). Collectively we wrote 2,147,483,647 words. Sixteen people claim to have written … Continue reading

Wordcounter of Doom
It turns out that yesterday’s declaration of a win in this year’s NaNoWriMo was premature. OpenOffice had told me that my word count was 50,024, but when I submitted my world-class prose to the official NaNo validator, it decided there … Continue reading

50,024!
I made it past the 50,000-word line on my NaNoNovel, and on the 16th of the month too. As I am going to Auckland this weekend, I had always intended to do a big push at the beginning of the … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo 2009
I’m doing NaNoWriMo again this year. Last year I got to the required 50,000 words easily, and I thought that what I had written was the core of a pretty decent Fantasy novel. I resolved to flesh it out into … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 25
They’ve opened the validator for official wins now, so I submitted my manuscript. My official wordcount is 56,121, and thus I have now “won” NaNoWriMo 2008! Yay me! (And the twenty thousand or so other people who will also “win”.) … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 15
Well. It’s been a funny old couple of days. On Thursday night I was suddenly struck down by some very nasty bug. I felt so awful on Friday – sicker than I can remember being in years. I struggled to … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 12
I managed to crank out 6,701 words today. Wahoo! This is almost certainly the most I’ve ever managed to write in a day, ever. And none of it was waffly filler either – it was all stuff that I’m sure … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 9
Hooray! I got past the half-way point today, and am at present sitting on 25,872 words. I may be half-way in terms of number of words, but sadly not in terms of effort. The problem is that I’ve got to … Continue reading
