Camp NaNoWriMo June 2012 Day 21

Well, I'm doing an excellent job of tanking Camp NaNoWriMo. My life has been chock full of distractions.  The big ones being work, dancing, picking up some volunteer hours, starting a new exercise routine and Full Seasons of Supernatural.

Current Status: 6,306 / 50,000

I have to write about 5K a day until the end of the month to reach 50K.  I've had 5K days before but I've never attempted to maintain a streak of 5K a day before.  I'm going to give it a go and see how many words I can come up with.  Hopefully the words flow fast and freely.

Random Thoughts:
- Too tired to get much writing done today.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
- The ideas for this story are finally starting to flow again. 
- This go around is a bit too much pants-ing for me.


Small Snippet of Novel:

Julianne wrapped her scarf tightly around her neck to ward off the bitter cold of the day. The weak sunlight was doing very little to warm things up and Julianne was grateful for each and every layer that she had on. She realized that she was simply delaying going outside and sighed. She gently tugged her goggles down over her eyes to guard against the wind driven snow and slipped out the door of the workshop.

Camp NaNoWriMo June 2012 Day 1

I have, in true last minute fashion, decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo.  Luckily I have the bare bones of an idea ready to write.  Go Seasonal Steampunk Serial!  Since I need to get writing it anyway if I want to edit and post it this December...well, wish me luck!

Random Thoughts:
- Today's experience was filled with distractions galore but it feels good to be writing again
- I came to the realization that I don't write as well or consistently without the word count/deadline challenge of NaNoWriMo so I may be doing this often.  Hopefully the month or two off at a time will be enough to actually edit things.
- I actually have words to add to #WIP500 again. (I suck at writing daily.  I want to get better at it.)


Small Snippet of Novel:

It seemed like such a small object to given so much power for change. Her eyes traced the engraved patterns on the box trying to make sense of the endless lines. Eventually Julianne looked up to see Noreen staring at her expectantly. Noreen was familiar with Julianne’s tendency to get lost in her own thoughts but the impatience in her indulgent smile made it clear that she thought Julianne wasn’t present enough in this particular moment.
