NaNoWriMo 2021 Day Thirty

The last day of the month is being wrapped up with 414 words, and a lack of satisfaction. Next year, I won’t let this happen again.

I do have some bits and pieces to work with, but it’s not been how I’d have liked it.

Signing off on NaNoWriMo 2021 with a whimper and not an explosive end.

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day Twenty-Nine

Good evening, folks! How are we all doing this evening?

I’ve written 331 words today. Um, still feel like I’m hitting my head against a brick wall but I’m quite proud of the fact that despite how hard it has been at times to write this month, I’ve still managed to get some words out.

I think some of it is my creative well needs to be refilled. I’ve recently watched Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight, and it’s sequel. The first one was very good, but I wasn’t as keen on the second one. It didn’t feel as sinister as the first one. For me it focused on explaining things a little too much, and made it not as engaging as the first one was.

Speaking of movies, I’m going to pop into Grand Theft Auto V Online for half an hour and then find something to watch.

Have a good one, folks!

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 28

368 today. It wasn’t like pulling teeth like it has been lately. I think I’ve found something that I might be able to get my teeth into.

I’ll be happy to hit 30,000 by the end of the month.

NaNoWriMo 2021 day 27

Only about 200 words today.

I just feel a little brain dead when I look at the stories. Maybe doing shorts wasn’t such a good idea, maybe I needed something I can really get my teeth stuck in.

Maybe that creative fire has died down too much and it needs some fuel put on it.

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 25

Good evening, Folks. Only 569 words today. But some nice growth in the story I was working on. There’s a couple I’ve been working on that are beginning to take shape nicely.

I did find it hard to get my head into writing today. I just couldn’t really get rolling nicely. I did like what I wrote, but it too a lot of work to get to where I wanted to today.

The problem is I’m eager to get stuck into editing on preexisting projects. I think that’s where I’m needing to spend my creative energies.

Right, short and sweet tonight. I’ve got an early tomorrow so I’m going to do a little popcorn, watch a movie and then call it a night.

Rock On, folks!

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day Twenty Four

I wrote about 1100 or so words today before running out of steam.

I liked what I wrote but I think it’s going to need some major fine tuning during the editing stages.

Tomorrow will be a snatching words as and when I can day, as will be the two days after that. Very busy with the day job.

My new desk setup, which is now in my bedroom. It’s still a bit of a mess and it’ll need tweaking but I think it’s a good start 🙂

NaNoWriMo 2021 Update (23/11/21)

Good evening, folks!

Just a little update tonight. I am at 25080 words for the month, which means I need 3283 words a day to hit the 50k. I’m not going to try and hit that. I think I could, but I’m not going to push myself that hard. I strongly believe that when you get behind it can be quite daunting trying to catch up. Even though I’ve only written 1344 words words today from here on out I’m just going to try and write the 1667 words a day. If I get more, great, if not. Not the end of the world.

Right, short and sweet tonight. I’m wiped and gonna get my head done.

Rock, on folks!

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 17

I managed to knock out 1171 words today! Damn chuffed with that! I am behind, but I’m not worrying about that. I’m just trying to keep that momentum going.

Another short post today as I’ve got another early tomorrow.

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day Thirteen!

How yah doing folks! I only wrote 1300 words today, and all of them were snatched here and there. That’s one of the benefits to having the files accessible to all my devices is I can just jump in as and when I need to! Especially getting back into the day job as well. I’m going to try and make good use of that.

I am behind, but stories are still progressing and frankly, I just need to pull my finger out and focus better!
