well, technically, it’s six minutes into day twenty-two, but i’ve just written 2800+ words in just under two hours, and i’m feeling pretty high about it, or at least, i’m feeling pretty high, so we’re just going to call it day twenty. i was super sick last night, to the point where i went through about half a box of tissues is just a couple of hours. my nose? is still red. i only wrote 500 words last night. i was, as of this morning, 5400+ words behind. as of the twentieth? i’m just 2077 words behind. my fingers? are totally about to fall off.<\/p>\n

the odd thing that’s happening to me during this year’s nano is that i keep — well, to be perfectly frank, i keep killing off all my main character’s friends, but what i was going to talk about is that i keep discovering things about the future of my plot as<\/span> i’m writing it. now, i am not an outliner, but i’ll usually have a vague idea of the ending before i start. indeed, i often have the ending in mind before i know what the beginning is. i certainly know where i want it to end up this time. actually, i’ve written half that scene already. but i usually have at least some vague idea about what’s going to happen in the middle. this year? hell no. i had a beginning i’d already written (that got completely redone), i had no bleeding idea about the middle (which might explain this Odd Thing), and i had a seriously firm idea about the ending. … or so i thought. a couple days ago, i was driving around with my mom, thinking about my story, and i suddenly realized a hideously horrible thing that will happen to my poor beleagured main character as a direct result of his actions in the ending i had already been envisioning. while i was writing today’s flaming word count (^_^) i kept having revelation after revelation about who’s dying, how, when, what poor reiki is going to do about when it happens. i actually had to go back and fill in some sections after i’d already written what is now essentially the story’s future, because i got to a certain point, and i realized, oh! this, this and that has to happen so that when we actually do get to this point for real, reiki’s already been traumatized, and is, to say the least, vehemently against<\/span> losing another friend.<\/p>\n

can i just say, at this point, I LOVE WRITING! keeeee~<\/p>\n

today’s sponser? probably oxygen highs. choir this evening was a serious breathing workout, and no joke.
