I just managed to get in my minimum word count yesterday. The boy is sick and barely napped. I might have a touch of what he has. I feel drained, exhausted on every level. Though it could be from the week I had.
I'm still having fun with the story. I'm working more on the romantic plot and the big villain is about to make an appearance.
My favorite bit from yesterday: "Me and Jagger? No. No, no, no." Not enough nos in the world to make that point clear. "We're only friends. What he meant, geez, I shouldn't be telling you this, but Irca likes you. A lot. And Jagger has always had a thing for her. So catching you and I together makes him mad because it would upset her. God, this sounds like some bad high school drama."
I finished my revisions of 1301 and sent it off to my CPs and betas. I did some serious changes at the beginning and added more to the end. The meat of the middle remained solid, but I always worry about beginnings and endings the most because they usually leave the biggest impressions.
I have no plans for the weekend except to nurse my poor sick boy and catch up on sleep. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Well done Christine! NaNoWriMo pushes us to the limits especially when real life stuff gets busy too.
ReplyDeleteI hope your son recovers quickly, and you manage to get some rest between writing.
Best wishes
I never Nano, and am in awe of people like you, who do it so well. Hope your kid feels better, and have yourself a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope your little boy is feeling better soon and that you don't catch the same bug. Good luck with the NaNo.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hope you and your little man feel better soon! Congrats on still maintaining a decent word count!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the word count! Not easy to do with sick little ones. And love the name "Jagger" for a character, but it did instantly put that song 'Moves Like Jagger' in my brain. Which isn't fun at 6 AM :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're doing brilliantly with the nano thing, especially if you have a sick child too!! keep it up and I'm sure you'll get where you want to be. Determination you obviously have aplenty!!! Well done.
ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry to hear you and your little guy are sick. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the impressive word count though, the snippet you posted sounded interesting.
Yay for 1301, just about to get stuck into that now. ;)
Sorry your boy is sick! Hope you both recover soon. Keep writing.
