Full Moon Madness

AugNo is pretty much, more or less, halfway over and tomorrow, or actually tonight at midnight, is Full Moon Madness. I've set my goal a very big 10,000 words. Let's see if I can do it.

Also, I switched out stories, the one I was working on, Escapist, didn't want to pick up quickly enough. So I switched out to my other story and everything's going nice and smooth now. I think if I work hard and focus, I'll catch up on my word count quickly.

AugNoWriMo Begins~!

August is here and along with it, the still relatively calm rush of writing (I won't freak out until the second or third week from my experience with NaNo) towards 50,000 words is here. I've decided to set LCS down and save it for NaNo since it began with NaNo. I want it to finish with NaNo, too.
Instead, I'm working on a new, random, omigosh-what-just-hit-me plot that... Well, hit me on August second. I'll post details when I finish the beginning of the story and outline a little more stuff.

In other words, I'm addicted to Mabinogi, which is awesome and full of win and the thing that inspired the story I'm currently working with during AugNoWriMo.

Expect a teaser or something in the next post. x3 Until then~

See ya~!

No go for JulNo

Okay. I've given up on JulNoWriMo, because after my friends left, I've been doing one thing after another. So instead, I'll make it up in AugNoWriMo. Until then, I'm going to finish things up (like cleaning and reorganizing my room) and then I'll crack down and write.

In other news, Kokoro, my other starling, is coughing now, so I'm trying to figure out what to do with her. The others are doing good. My luck at fishing this year has sucked, but hopefully that will change on the 30th.
I'll still post my word count number at the end of July. I'm not promising big numbers since I've only written for a few minutes at a time this month. But I'll give you guys numbers none the less.

From your struggling fantasy writer,

Over and out.

Supposed to be at WHAT--?

14,516 words by midnight tonight. That's where I'm supposed to be. And I think I only have around 500, maybe. Give or take a few hundred. Like I said before, I have two friend staying with me and I've been having too much fun with them here. So I'll continue to write when I can in my notebook and transfer it onto the computer later and then finish writing the rest there after my friends leave. I'm determind to reach 50,000 by the end of July, so I'll probably post a lot during sleepless nights and early mornings while drowning myself in coffee and hopefully bagels if I can get my hands on them.

From the land of a slowly but surely growing word count,

50,000 words? No problem.

Or so I thought. *sigh* Oh well. It's July, which means JulNoWriMo, which I thought was going to be a piece of cake, but so far I've only have a little over 100 words written. --

AND BLAH BLAH BLAH, MY DEADLINE OH NOES!!!!!!1111111

... And I also have some guest over, who so lovingly put that in. But all is well. I'm having fun and I hope they are too. I'll write when I can and after they leave I'll just try to catch up with many sleepless nights and early mornings, but for the moment I have a fourth of July cook-out to attend.
One more thing, I figured I should mention that Tiffin isn't coughing anymore and his foot is completely healed now.

I hope everyone's having a great fourth of July!

Back and Better than Ever

Hello all.

I'm back now after my hard drive decided to kill itself. Luckily, the man we took my computer to transferred my story and everything over to my new hardrive and gave me a better hardrive than my first one.
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to reach my word count goal because of this accident, but at least I didn't lose everything I had.
I figured I would give you all a quick post (I don't think I have many readers currently, but it can't hurt to talk to people that aren't there. I do it all the time anyway.) and let you all know what was going on.
My one baby starling, Tiffin, is coughing so he'll be going into the vets on Monday, if they have any openings then. If not, I'll be scheduling an appointment ASAP. The poor guy also injured his foot by testing the flying squirrel, Nutmeg's, patients. She bit him, and he's feeling the soreness today judging by the way he's limping around. I'm keeping the wound clean the best I can, but I'll have the vet check that too while we're there.
Also my friends will be coming up in about a week and a half, so I'll be busy getting the house ready for them, but for now we're trying to get ready to head out the door to spend Father's Day together with my Dad.

So, I'll keep you all updated, but for now...

See you later.

Six Hours Complete

Hello all. I was challenged by a writing group I'm in (MAD Challenge, you might be familiar with it) to write for six hours. I worked for six hours this morning. I woke up at six AM and worked until 12:30 PM (I started at 6:30 AM). I almost did it straight except I had to get coffe, a slice of cake for breakfast, and feed the baby starlings ever hour. I wrote 13 pages (the total is 14 but I wrote the first one last night) and my word count is 5,083 (not counting the 508 words that I wrote last night).

So here's my word count so far:

5,591 / 10,000 (55.9%)

Not a bad start at all. It's only Thursday and I've already got over half of my goal. I'm feeling really proud of myself right now. Getting up to write at six AM wasn't bad either. I might get into the habit of doing that. I got a lot done today and it's not even over yet. I am, however, having a sugar crash.

Hoping I don't crash too hard,

-Britt
