so it’s almost 2:30 in the morning.
… and i finished. WOO!!!!
i really, really, really like the last chapter: the epilogue. i think it can actually stand on it’s own, but it contains massive spoilers for the rest of the story (and yet doesn’t). i don’t trust my 2:24 am judgement, so i’m [...]

down to the wire: 4750 to go

and it just won’t come. i’m stuck in the third to last chapter, with a long list of things that still need to happen, but the characters just won’t behave. they’re all sitting in this room and they won’t leave and they won’t advance the story and it just sucks. i’ve lost all [...]

please explain?

kelly | November 27, 2006

watch this, and please tell me who these people are and why they’re covering a disney song.

a bit shy of the halfway point, but not too bad. i should be caught up by the end of the weekend assuming nothing crazy happens, which means it probably will. I’m getting into plot points now, mixing up the characters so they can all get to know each other. for example:
“Am [...]

day 13- 17331:32669

kelly | November 13, 2006

my goal for the vacation was 2k. i managed to pull off a little over 3k (3257 to be exact), so go me. this means that i need to write 1922 wpd for the rest of the month (i’m 4336 behind). not too shabby.
i’m still skeptical that i’m going to make it. [...]

texas day 1 (actual day 10): 15239

kelly | November 10, 2006

that’s right. i knocked out 1164 words on the plane today. who wants to touch me! i also discovered that when you flesh out the background of 2 or 3 of your primary supporting characters, you find your plot. which is pretty darn cool. oh! and while fleshing out one of those [...]

nano day 8-10: 14074

kelly | November 10, 2006

i am too tired to write anymore, which is a shame, because it was about to get a bit juicy. i was hoping to get to 16k before i left for the weekend. i hope to get around 2k done over the 4 days, which is going to put me *severely* behind, [...]

nano day 7: 12594

kelly | November 8, 2006

oh, it is the crappiest crap that ever crapped, but it’s coming along anyway. i’m disappointed that i haven’t hit one of those giant floods of words that i keep hearing so much about. every 2k is like pulling crappy teeth out of a cement skull, but i know that much of that [...]

day 5: 8398

kelly | November 6, 2006

not nearly as much as i’d like to have written by this point. next week’s going to be rough, and it’s only going to get rougher.
i won’t lie. i’m hella discouraged at this point. i think i’m hitting that “week 3″ freak out about 2.5 weeks early. it’s crap, i don’t know where [...]

bedtime day 4ish: 6211

kelly | November 5, 2006

not happy enough with anything new i wrote (it’s kinda silly and cliche) to share, but it’s done for now, and i can move on to the next chapter.
here’s hoping i can get 4k out of the way tomorrow…erm today…
