So my first day of writing in the NaNoWriMo<\/a> contest is coming to a close. I do have other things to do and write, ya know. I think I’ve knocked this one out of the park though. It’s a solid first effort.<\/p>\n

The average is 1600+ words a day to hit the target of 50K. I’ve been sorting out what I was going to do for the first day of solid writing that it all sort of flowed almost FASTER than I’d could type (which is fairly fast).<\/p>\n

Don’t know that all of them will go as smoothly but at least I’ve got a solid start.<\/p>\n

Today’s word count – 9,042 (or 20 pages)\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Teen Wolf Hottie<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not bad for a first haul. According to the nanowrimo site I should be done in about 8 days at this rate. I don’t know that that will happen as I had a bit of time to sort it all in my head so when I hammered it out it was one long stream of consciousness brain dump I was on. Now that I am nearing the end of that ‘brain storming session’ I think that I will find that my pace might slow a tad here and there.<\/p>\n

I do think that my total word count will easily eclipse the 50K bar. Only because I write like a fiend when I am in the groove of it all. But I just hope I don’t overwrite the whole damned thing. My goal is not the 50K, but that I can limit myself to an actual short novel.<\/p>\n

As I’ve said before, I think Cecil B. DeMille epically when I write. It’s just how my gay perspective thing is on it. But yeah, with these weres, so gonna let them have a fun, scary and satisfying romp. It’ll be brief but hopefully not the only one of the series (because while I may give it a HEAFN at the end of this book, I will definitely leave it open-ended enough to carry if forward if people seem to like it).<\/p>\n

Anyway, said I was gonna blog about the process – so yeah…<\/p>\n

DAY ONE – 9, 042\/20 pages!<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Not too bloody bad in my book…<\/p>\n

Now time to go make dinner – my work is never done, it seems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
