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

Knights of Malta

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

On Getting Lost
This picture cracks me up mightily: I just love the idea that the people who drive the crawlers that deliver the Space Shuttle stacks from the VAB to the launch pads are in need of direction. But imagine the embarrassment … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 2
I clocked up another 3,200 words today, for a total of 7,466 – well ahead of my 6,000-word quota for the weekend. The format of the event – the emphasis on quantity rather than quality – is certainly freeing. I … Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Day 1
Well, things got off to a good start. I have managed 4218 words today, the most I’ve written in a day for a long time. It’s mostly crap, but that’s allowed (even encouraged!) under the rules, and I’m very happy … Continue reading
