Dragus Ramblings

So once again the only thing I've posted to my journal in about a year is my next attempt to complete Nano. Best of luck to me, and this feels like a good year. See you in a couple of days.

So day one of NaNo and I'm not off to a bad start. Got about half of my daily word count done. And I decided to write an entirely different story. My take on Beauty and the Beast.  So back to NaNo Land.

So this is turning in to annual November post. Me getting ready for NaNo. This year I'm not working as much, maybe that will help. But the one year I completed NaNo I was working overtime most of the month. So we will see. Once again I will try to finish the second book of my first NaNo book. I should try something different but I really want to see where I am going in the story. And I miss the characters. Also I am doing this on a new laptop. And I haven't wrote much with it. So still getting used to the keys. Could thing NaNo doesn't care about spelling or I would be in trouble. So once again I set sail on the ship into NaNo Land.                                                             LD

So I started my Nano story this weekend. Almost up to where I should be. Which means I am not so far behind in my word count that I can't catch up. Now if I can just keep form trolling around youtube and facebook.

Not gong to be much of an update as I am tired and ready to leave the office. Have to be bac in the morning.

I really should make these post part of my word count for the day. I am writing after all.

So I had decided not to post anything to my journal this year about NaNo. But after thinking about it I thought it wouldn't hurt. So I will keep this short and sweet since it has been forever that I have wrote anything in here. Could explain why I never kept a paper journal for very long. Ran out of things to say every day.

So about NaNo, I am trying once again to finish the second half of the story I started years ago. I would really like to see myself finish it. I am about three fourths of the way through the word count I set for myself this weekend. Since I missed the first two days of writing. I did find that not rereading the first half of the story seems to be working better this year. That and the fact that I lost the 5000 words I managed to write last year and had to start all over. So I guess that's all for now. I have about six hundred words to write to reach my goal for today. Then I need to sleep.

So Okie's now get to go around and brag that we survived an earthquake. It wasn't real big but 5.7 is still significant. And this is the excuse I am using for being so far behind in my word count for NaNo. So that's my story and I am sticking to it. So now that we have all had a day to settle down from the quake I will attempt to catch up a little.

So back to NaNo land, after dinner.

So its day two of NaNo. So far I have made word count for the day,thats not saying much as I haven't written anything for today and have a little less than four hours to get the words in.

Not really liking the way I have my computer set up but there really isn't any other way to do it.

So now that I've wrote something maybe I can get back to the story. I was on a roll last night before I got tired.

Back to the madness.

It is now 11 hours till the madness of NaNo begins and I have barely gotten through the first story so I know where to take this one. I haven't even got my character sheets done. So I will start with the scene I started with two years ago and hope I have enough for the word count and then try and finish up on the character sheets so I know who my players are.


Now back to work so that I will have time for NaNo.

So its Sunday and about a day and a half away from NaNo. I just printed off what I finished writing three years ago since I can't seem to find my hard copies at home. Now to read through what I wrote and try to find my voice from back then.

Off to help a friend at work, then on to getting ready for the madness.

Okay so getting back into the habit of writing something on a semi-daily basis. But not much to put down yet. I did add a new member to my little family last night so here is a Big Warm welcome to George the Red-Eared Slider I brought home last night. George joins the rest of the family that includes Zena, the Queen of the house and resident mouse an vermin catcher. Mouse, momma cat extraordinaire, even if she has never had a litter of her own. Callie, big girl who makes everyone else look like a munchkin. Maximus, my little special boy, with his attitude of whatever. Samson, who I still think is part goat. Lucy, the baby, and bug catcher in-training.

So I've pulled out my notes from my one finished NaNo novel to prepare for this year, think I may know where I am going to take it. Then again my characters seem to change my mind for me.

So here is to finishing this years NaNo.
