A Quick NaNo Update

[katstales]

So. It's now Nov 4 and NaNo is entering its fourth day. I'm on track now, finally, after spending the better part of the first two days arguing with the main character over what her name was going to be. Grrr.

The good news is that we finally managed to settle upon a name agreeable to both of us and the words have begun to flow pretty well the last two days. Here's the details so far:

Title: The Last Stormdancer
Words: 5009 total so far
Progress: Still on chapter one, but really, the major progress was getting the main character to agree to a more Native American-sounding name. :P


Happy Sunday and happy writing to all the authors on my flist. :D

ohmygoodness! Love the title! Didn't know if you were doing NaNo this year. Are you doing write in's too?

MELI! *megahuggles* It's been waaay too long, my friend. :D

Thanks for the title compliment! I've had a number of comments on it and all very positive, so I guess I did at least one thing right with this year. LOL!

I had been planning to write a different story, but the idea for this one just sort of barged in and took over. :P I'm thinking of posting some other writing tips this year and maybe link to the No Plot No Problem tips from last year instead of just rehashing the old posts again. I guess that will depend on how well I can stay on target with my word counts though, lol.

And I am doing write-ins again this year! We're not at Borders though, sadly. We're meeting a coffee and fudge shop, which has free internet and a VERY accommodating owner. It's twice as far as Borders, but it's a cool atmosphere and we have an even larger group than last year. It's been a LOT of fun so far! :)

So how about you? You nano-ing this year?

Sounds like a cool place to have a write in. And hey the extra driving time is plotting time..... So glad to see you on board this year. Yay!

*hugs and chocolate*
