Done!

I finished!

...

Yes, I finished a couple of days ago, but I forgot to post about it... so... sorry. =P

...

*does the happy dance*

I have 50,384 words. I think this year's NaNo was easier to complete than last year's. Maybe it's because I like the story better. It's funnier, less stupid, and Ferdinand is just plain awesome.

I found a picture of him, too.
Isn't he awesome? I'll be posting a picture of Marie soon, too (Who has a real life twin, by the way.)

Six more days

Just six more days before NaNo is up! The month has just seem to have flown by.

I ended up writing a total of ELEVEN THOUSAND WORDS yesterday! Eep! Bringing total up to 45,209.

With out MM, WM, Em, Rasi, and JF I couldn't have done it.

Thanks for Word Waring with me y'all!

Ten days to go! Eep!

So there's only ten days to go in NaNo! Yay!

Except I'm about 6 or 7k behind! Eep!

Fortunately my cat is giving me a lot of writing to do.

Unfortunately we're having guests over all of thanksgiving week and I won't be able to write much.

Fortunately I've had a very good writing day and will soon catch up if I keep up at this pace.


That's all.

And a little from Ferdinand Columbus:

The lights in the ship were dimmed, casting shadows over the chairs. Eric followed us down the stairs and went to the back of the ship. I wonder what he’s doing… I skulked after him, pretending I stalked a ferocious prey.

He led me to a small galley where he started preparing some food. I leapt on the counter and peered at the pan he held, “What’re you making?” I asked, forgetting he couldn’t understand me.

Ignoring me he went on with his cooking, preparing plates of food. I tried to snatch a bite from one but he pushed me away, scolding, “Don’t touch that! It’s not yours.”

I purred, “It would be mine if you gave it to me.”

Middle of Day Six

Well, it's the middle of day six, I'm at 10k, only 23 words ahead.

I would like to write more, but I've been rather busy and not really feeling like it. It's not 'cause of my characters, either, I love them. I just can't seem to concentrate.

I should be able to get some done in the car tomorrow, 13 hour drive! =O

Then also maybe on the plane on Tuesday!

End of Day Two

It's the end of day two! Wootness!

I love my MC, he's so... himself. =P


“Well, they won’t catch me, anyway, I’m far too quick, cunning, and cute… I mean, handsome.”


Yup, that's Ferdinand.

I've reached 5k now. I'm going to bed.

Thanks for doing word wars with me JF, Em, and MM!

Day Two

I didn't get to write a blog post last night, but I was so tired I couldn't.

Last night I got to go to the first right of in my region of the month. It was a blast!

I won the word war, too. =D I got bubbles.

So far my word count is 2,500 and I'm writing easy, no problems at all so far.
