#ROW80 Checkin 11/27

 

Hello everyone!

Here we go for another check-in (already?).

Note: this post was written Friday night and scheduled to go live on Sunday morning (so no news from Sat and Sun). 

 

Reminder of my goals:

  1. Participate on NaNoWriMo
  2. Revise my NaNo novel (G.H.)
  3. Read 1 book per week
  4. Blog at least once per week (besides the #ROW80 check-ins)
  5. Comment on #ROW80 friends’ blogs

 

Blogging

All done.

 

Reading

Finished THE DUFF by Kody Keplinger.

Finished RULES OF ATTRACTION by Simone Elkeles.

Reading HOW TO WRITE A DAMN GOOD NOVEL by James N. Frey. Hopefully, I’ll have finished it by Sunday.

 

Writing

Honestly, I lost count of how many words I wrote each day this week. However, I went from 39k words (last Friday) on my NaNo novel to 50k (on Thursday). And added about 3,400 words on Friday.

I just wrote the final battle. I tend to rush through it because I’m so caught up (battles are exhausting! lol). I have to learn to relax and think it through, think about all surrounding the battle, all emotions, etc.

Then, I just need to write the three final scenes to settle everything and I’ll be done with it. So it should be more 8k-12k words to finish this manuscript.

 

How are you, my friends? How was everyone’s Thanksgiving?

Cheers,

  1. Well done! Those are a lot of words. Just hit 50k but now for the last 20k and catching up on everything I’ve neglected during the month. My google reader looks daunting.

  2. Well done on adding an awesome amount of words to your count :D I love writing battle scenes but so far in my WiP haven’t had the opportunity, though I might be able to slip one in near the end. Enjoy your NaNo success!

  8. congrats on finishing nano already! that’s such an awesome accomplishment – the marathon of writing ;)

    what was your biggest lesson learned from participating? was it creating good writing habits? or not self editing? i’m curious because i’ve never tried it out before.

    cheers!
