Word count: Aprx 1700+
Nov. 1st, 2009 10:22 pmFirst day of NaNo: almost complete!
I don't think I quiiiite got to my word count goal for today (yet*), and there's also some other stuff**, but. I am actually writing, and more than I can remember doing in a single day for quite some time, so I consider it a success!
About my novel: People keep asking me this :/ "What's your novel about, Socchan?" I'm at something of a loss how to explain it as yet, especially since I haven't quite finished the outline completelyor started it, but uh. It kinda fuses Snow White with Snow White and Rose Red and some Red Riding Hood on the side? Oh, and apparently lots of "original" fairy-tale elements. And I'mma aim for making Snow White ugly/Not The Prettiest, as mentioned somewhat here (DW only, locked). Also, there will be lesbians :Dbb
...Speaking of, all I've got so far is a prequel-ish thing. With lesbians. And, uh. Kinda were-bear sorta stuff? Yeah. But I'm enjoying it!
* My daily goal is 2000 words, so I can (hopefully, knock-on-wood) finish up a few days early and get the darn thing typed up. I've written something like 1700 words today, I think, and I'm hoping to get maybe another hundred or so down before I go to sleep, and it's my first year anyway, so I'm thinking it's looking reasonably good so far? Well, aside from the aforementioned Other Stuff**.
** See, I'm not actually writing the novel part of my novel yet. I never quite finished stuff like character backgrounds and outlining last month, so I'm finishing that up this month and counting that towards my goal. Nothing written last month, of course, but anything not-actually-part-of-the-novel for this month? I'm counting. Yay, sorta-cheating! \o/ ...This will also be helpful if my story only reaches "novella" length, but I'm not worrying about that for now.
Anyhow, off to bed for me, I think. And probably only ten minutes of writing; I wanna be up early tomorrow. Maybe I can get to work early, and get some more writing done with fewer distractions than I have at home...
