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.

Finally well enough to write

Passed 72,000 words on current novel project tonight.

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?

NaNoWriMo 2005 - check!

Well, November 2005 has come and gone. I got my 50,000 words on my new novel and the prologue is up at http://www.astoundingtales.com/vol2_iss3/nano/dreamingdead.php.

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 Sheer out-of-date clutter, that's all that was.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.
