NaNoWriMo Blues

Started Nano this year all gung-ho, but have since realized I don't want to write crap just to get words down on the page. So, after three days of Nano, I'm quitting.

The Frenzy Starts

Just finished day 2 of Script Frenzy. Did 8 whole pages so far, which leaves me a little bit ahead at this point. With Scrivener and my trusty Save the Cat ! outline, I hope to finish by the 25th.

Script Frenzy April

Haven't been doing much writing lately for a number of reasons, but since Script Frenzy is almost upon us, I'll try my hand at writing another movie. I've a basic storyline in mind and have started outlining it. Should have the entire film plotted before the start of Script Frenzy. Save the Cat! comes to the rescue again.

Behind

Way, way behind with Nano this year. Had a bunch of issues that clobbered my free time. Although I won't get my 50k in time, I'm still working on the story.

Nanowrimo Time Again

Yes, kiddies. It's that time of the year again: Nanowrimo. The time when everyone's a genius and writer's block is nonexistent. The Block cannot be, when you're writing drek at light speed. Somebody once said: "Ninety-nine percent of all writing is drek." And I'm proudly going to add mine to the pile. I'll drek to that!

Coming back from downtime

While happily researching, outlining and actually writing parts of the book, “Indian Summer” (working title), I got whacked upside the head with a killer cold and extra work at the day job. The worst is now over and I’m back working on the book.

During my forced downtime, a few more characters introduced themselves. And the Opposition also showed up. Having a great time making a literary mudpie of all this input. Let's hope it's edible when it finally comes out of the oven.

I'm still working...

The outline's coming alone. Been up to my ears in daily life,  but should be writing the first draft of the Western novel in the next week or two.

For now, it's back to research and notescribbling.
