First chapter. Character is developed and pulled through an amulet into another world. I may add more words, but I unlocked the achievement planned for today.
I cried at a parting. I have joy now that I typed "The End". This is the end of the first novel I have written. I am exhausted and happy. Next weekend, I start the next two books and the editing of this one.
Thanks for the encouragement! You have all been excellent!
I said this after the last writing session... but I have only one more chapter to write (and one to finish.) There was more story left then I thought
I had a great writing day. There was a LOT of action and bloodshed. Several characters I have grown to love are near death. I have one more chapter to write, but that will be tomorrow.
Feeling ill, so I was very slow on the 'non-writing' part of the day. I really like the words, but I wish the output was greater. I had hoped to complete more, but there is still a chapter and a half to go. Then I rewrite the last two chapters (that will need a LOT of adjustment to match what led up to them). We are close to 'the end'. (That will be 'the beginning' of the editing process. As this is book one ever, that will also be new to me.)
This felt good. I realized the end of the book has one more final foreshadowing (another short dream sequence). When I finish this chapter, I will have only one more to write. It was an excellent day of getting words done.
We found out that Trolls reproduce by laying eggs. The book has only a few chapters remaining. I hoped to get finished this (vacation) week, but I am still on schedule for the "End of April" deadline I gave myself.
Lots else to do today. No more time for writing.
I feel I should be doing better. 2000 words seemed the norm, but now I have 4200 or so over three days. The book is reaching a climax. It is so close. Then I need to rewrite the last two chapters...and edit from the start. I also need to find a developmental editor. Lots to do.
I am under the weather...but better than the side character I wrote about... I at least expect to recover.
Not easy to write. Lots of distractions. Will try again tomorrow. I need to finish this book!
Words written. Not much else to share.
My word claim from yesterday is not there. Trying again.
Off from work this week... and I am frustrated that I could not find more time to write today. Will do what I can to double the time tomorrow. The story went on an odd way, and I am not sure if the words will be useful when I get going again tomorrow.
Setting up the last series of events before the climax. Hope to finish the book this week or soon after. (I have taken off the week and should be able to write every day. I started writing before I claimed words on this site. I am above 91 thousand words.)
The words were tough to get started today; the first paragraph was like 20 minutes of fighting to complete. It went well from there. I love writing!
Thought this was a slow few chapters. It wasn't
Slow writing, but still got in my words.
