Have I mentioned time goes by way too fast? Holey Moley!
NaNo Writing is going well. I’m at the past-21k point and am slowly starting to get the chapters together (or rather, finding a way to link them together 🙂 ). Good thing I always had a few dangling plot threads that I could expand upon and ultimately make sense of. Incredibly, I’ve only just touched upon the main reason I wanted to write THIS book in the first place. But it’s also been fun to tie together puzzle pieces from previous stories. (for those still guessing, this novel contains characters I’ve worked with before 🙂 )
It’s tough going, but I’m having fun. The first wall barrier was breached yesterday and I’m starting to think there may be another one around the corner. We’ll see. In the meantime, I’ve got that burning desire to write, and just not enough time to really do it. I could, of course, use a day off from work to concentrate on it. That would probably be amazing. Until then, though, you can easily imagine how I try to get through my days of meetings, greetings, emails, plans, and documentation while keeping all those characters from jumping out of my fingertips and taking over my writing! 🙂
At least I have my Cafe Depot lunch hours to revisit with them and rough out the edges 🙂 Darth GMarc, I’ll bring what I’ve got done so far at noon tomorrow to show you an example of what little tricks help keep me going 🙂
And on another note… I forgot to mention how I had to do a quick Elvis song at last Sunday’s NaNo Meetup. Crazy fools will never know how difficult it is for me to stop once I’ve started! AaaieE!!! “Uh well-a bless-a muh soul oh what’s-a wrong with me… I’m itchin’ like a man on a fuzzy tree… My friends say I’m actin’ wild as a bug, I’m in love! Uh! I’m all shook up…”
🙂 I think I’ll go home now…
