Day 20: A Day of Difficult Writing

Word Count: 1,853
Chapters Written: Chapter Fourteen
Edits Made: 2

So I finally got some writing done! And I posted a new chapter here. =) It was difficult to write today's segment because Dorian again refused to act the way I wanted him to act, and Anberlin kept wanting to be a scared little pain in the behind rather than the tough girl I wanted her to be. Meh...

Day 19: A Day of Thoughtful Laziness

Word Count: 0
Chapters Written: None
Edits Made: 0

 Le sigh. Another day of busy living and no writing. I did, however, manage to organize the whole screenplay and novel correlation business. So now the whole plot is outlined, as is the screenplay, and all I have to do is finish writing. Easier said than done, right? Right.

Well it isn't the best I could do, but it's something, and that's what matters. I won't be updating for a few days so it looks like Saturday will be my catch up day. Wish me luck!

Day 16: A Day of No Inspiration

Word Count: 0
Chapters Written: None
Edits Made: 0

Well I have to admit that I haven't been feeling the inspiration to write, and unfortunately, this is the time where I really need to get cracking. NaNoWriMo is almost over and while I'm somewhat ahead, another day of no writing could really put me behind. Here's to tomorrow!

Day 15: A Day of Twists and Turns

Word Count: 2,334
Chapters Written: Chapter Twelve
Edits Made: 0

Today my characters all decided to take a turn in the wrong direction. They all decided they would act scared when they were supposed to be strong, act angry when they were supposed to be humorous, and act giddy when they were supposed to be evil. Then I had to fight with myself over whether or not to write out the outline version of the chapter, or write the much more interesting and fun version of the chapter, so I ended up writing a little bit of both, and that leaves me unhappy with the chapter altogether. At least I got a good chunk of writing done, which brings my current word total up to 31,110.

Day 14: A Day of Rebelling Villains

Word Count: 8,645
Chapters Written: Chapter Ten, Chapter Eleven
Edits Made: 2

Today I made up for all the days I missed this week. I ran into a serious problem with Dorian's character who decided at the last moment that he didn't want to be the charismatic, charming but vicious villain I created him to be. He wanted to be a bit kooky, a bit mysterious, and he wanted to spend a lot of time checking out Anberlin like a library book. Yes, I went there. But only because Dorian is a bad influence and he made me.

Anyway, I updated my FictionPress account and posted chapter four of Lucidity today. Read on here. =)

Day 13: A Day of Little Sleep and No Work

Word Count: 0
Chapters Written: None
Edits Made: 0

Another day of no work done. I went to a party last night and stayed up until 6:30am playing games and talking, then had no access to a computer for the rest of the day. By the time I got home tonight, I was exhausted and simply could not stand to look at a computer without falling asleep. I'll catch up tomorrow!
