So 15 days down, 15 days to go. I thought I should write a few words as a bit of an update. First off – 50k, man. That’s a lot of words. Technically, I’ve already won NaNoWriMo. You don’t really win NaNoWriMo, but as I said in the first post, the typical goal is 50000 […]
So rather than creating a new post for each individual update I’m just going to update this post each day, with both the overall total and the daily count. TOTAL: 50157 Day 1: 4315 Day 2: 3261 Day 3: 2666 Day 4: 4318 Day 5: 5556 Day 6: 5256 Day 7: 4641 Day 8: 1556 […]
So my plan for NaNoWriMo, as promised. About four years ago or so I wrote a screenplay, but I always thought it would make quite a good novel. It has been my intention to adapt it for years, but other things kept getting in the way (both other writing stuff and other non-writing stuff). No […]
This one is late just because there was a delay in getting the restrictions. Totally not my fault. An interesting mix this time. None of them are particularly outlandish, but between them, specifically the combination of title and premise, they should prove… interesting. Title: Never Leave Cooking Unattended Premise: Man wakes up in the morning, […]
Has it already been almost six weeks? Time flies, doesn’t it? Well, as promised, The Man Who Had No End of Garden Fence Troubles got written eventually, and I took my time with writing it (although it didn’t take the full six weeks, just a couple of days – busy busy, other things, blah blah […]
So things have been a little quiet around here, in terms of the Challenge, but there’re two reasons for that. First of all, every time I’ve sat down to write over the last two weeks I’ve been working on my book. If you’ve ever tried to do anything like write a book, you’ll understand that […]
I know, I know, it’s late again. I have a legitimate excuse this time. On Monday, I wasn’t able to get all the restrictions on account of work stuff, and then yesterday, I forgot. I didn’t say it was a good excuse. Title: The Man Who Had No End of Garden Fence Troubles Premise: So, […]
I can’t say I’m liking the new premise restriction. I’ll stick it out for the next three weeks, just in case this last week won’t be the standard, but at this point, I doubt it will last longer than that. Title: The Idea Nexus Premise: A group of friends on a 9 day cruise notice the […]
I have decided to trial a slightly altered version of the challenge by changing the genre restriction into a premise restriction. It is exactly what it says on the box, it outlines the premise that the story will then have to be based around. I don’t know if it will work perfectly – it might […]
