The end is in sight

I passed 80,000 words! WOO! That was my goal for the day and I made it before the new year.

And I finally-- finally -- got to write the scene that started this entire novel's concept. It ended up being a far more emotional scene than I expected, and far harder to write because of it.

Writing is always a surprise

Passed 75,000 tonight, and the night is still young.

And James Newton Howard's score to "King Kong" is surprisingly effective music for the scenes I'm currently writing. I would not have thought that, but it's just the right mix of anguished emotion and action.

Hmph

Tried every different template style in here and came back to the one I had originally. How come they don't have any other dark ones?

Clean Slate

November 2005 approaches. Fast. With a new NaNoWriMo challenge. Or rather, same challenge, new book.

I've deleted all of last year's entries. Sheer out-of-date clutter, that's all that was. So, starting fresh, and just talking writing.
