Silver Mines & Treason: NaNo Day 14

Well, November is almost halfway over already—not sure how that happened! You'll be happy to know that my novel is sitting pretty at 32,774 words, and I'm on track to finish by the 22nd. Hooray!!

The story is progressing pretty well, although I'm afraid I might get to 50K before I reach the end… Currently, two of my characters are attempting to escape from the silver mines, one of my characters just discovered the (partial) truth about her mysterious parentage, and one of my characters is about to commit treason against the king… or maybe warn him instead. :-) I've been posting tiny excerpts every now and again on my NaNoWriMo profile page, for the morbidly curious.

In other news, saw Thor: The Dark World this weekend and LOVED it. Also went to NASCAR for the first time ever and loved that too, although it was Quite Loud. Coming up on the roster: JJ Heller concert this Saturday, and on November 25th I'm seeing the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special IN THEATERS. Sooooo excited!!! There's also Catching Fire and Frozen coming out soon. Busy month!

Okay. I did the dishes. I wrote this blog. I really should stop procrastinating and get back to writing!!

Update: Nano Day 5

Well I'm thoroughly ensconced in NaNoWriMo and having a blast—so glad I decided to go for it! I've been languishing in revision purgatory all year and I forgot how much FUN it is to write first drafts!

Day Five Word Count: 14,097!! Trying to stay ahead of the game so I can finish my 50K by the 22nd, when my sister comes into town—so far I'm on track! Huzzah!

Oh and from the FYI department, here is my author page on the NaNoWriMo site.

I guess I should go to sleep now so I can get up and write some more!! Betrayal and war is coming soon to a novel near you…

November! November!

Woot woot! I decided to throw caution to the wind and GO FOR IT! Didn't quite finish the second half of my in-progress revision, but I got a substantial amount done and I should be able to get back to it fairly easily after NaNo.

3,293 words so far!! Yayyyy!!!
