A total slacker

[skyring]

I have been distracted of late, what with NaNoWriMo leaping into the final week and me with 37 500 words to write yet. But I'll get 'me done yet, never you fear!

The convention journal languishes. I'll fill in bits and pieces as I get time for it.

Annuncial's adventures in Bookcrossing continue to keep me busy. Newk never noticed BookFrog sitting a metre or two away from him at the trivia night, so I'm not at all surprised nobody noticed her at my table. It will take me a long time to live down Van Gogh's ear. The man must have been crazy!

Had a great time. Already booked my flight an d accomodation for the New Zealand Convention next year. I'm taking my wife and we'll have several days relaxing before the frenzy begins.

More later.

37.000 words in 7 days? possible...

I'm suprised at some NaNo participants who lost their plot before the wordcount is over. If I would have to pin down the plot alone, of course I'd be finished long before the end of the month and the wordcount.
Obviously pinning down words alone will not make a novel. But forcing oneself to a fast-paced progress on a novel helps to really get work done. What I'm hoping to achieve is to finish the first draft of what will always be my first NaNoWriMo novel.
