...2 to go!!
I'm hoping that I'll get it over and done with before lunchtime then have a cooked lunch and start to return to reality for the first time in only a week. Feeling pretty chuffed with myself right now... the end is in sight, so just gotta summon up the last tiny bit of creative energy for the final sprint home!
Feeling pretty proud of those numbers and as long as I manage to knock out at least 8 chapters a day, tomorrow and Thursday, I'll be finished well before lunchtime on Friday.
It's grocery delivery day tomorrow morning and Steve's promised to bring it in and put it away 'cos it's entirely his stuff so I'll hopefully manage to knock out my target of 8 chapters, but if not then I can just add it to Friday's and I should still be able to hit my entire total of 50,000 words before lunchtime, then I can decompress and come back to reality at the weekend in preparation for hitting real life head on next week.
...three days of JanNo, I'm now at the half way point of the manuscript after yesterdays writeathon where I managed to write a huuuuge 10 chapters. I've written 8 today, so I'm on track for finishing on the 7th as long as I keep writing at least 7 chapters a day.
My MC has just gone to see there GP so we're approaching the mid-point, with all the action and I'm determined to try and avoid a happily-ever-after for this one, just to challenge myself to see what happens. The ending might change when I edit it, but I'm hoping the first draft will end on a cliff-hanger with the reader finishing the story in whatever way they would prefer. I just wanna take each day as it comes with this "vomit draft" writing though... I'm not even thinking past the next chapter at this point.
I'll need to request the help of the police and my GP after I've finished the first draft, so that I can make sure I've got my fiction right so that I don't get into trouble when it's published 'cos it'll be too late at that point!
Wish me luck for tomorrow please?!
I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep at 2.30am so came down and started writing and I've barely stopped all day, so managed to knock out an incredible 10,000 today, which means that I've averaged 9,000 words so far during JanNo which is more than I was hoping to achieve every day and today's 10k was absolutely astonishing (to put it mildly).
Time for me to hit the hay now and hope I get more than 5 hours of sleep tonight lol
My muse smacked me over the head with a name 11 days back, which is very very rare, so I wrote the name down and saved it to my desktop. My muse has just woken up again and given me that character's job, personality, and pretty major spot in the novel. She's not the MC but she appears in a pretty significant way in the majority of chapters so I've just edited my chapter plans slightly so that I can include her name so that I don't forget before I start writing on Saturday.
A huge creative weight has been lifted and I can go into the writing challenge full steam ahead as soon as I wake up and come downstairs for the first day of JanNo22.
...start off with the break from the news from today until I've finished JanNo.
Thank you so much for all of your support since I've been doing it and I'll restart in January... at a guess it'll be at least the 10th before I start again, but it might be a couple of days before then if I finish JanNo early and bump back to reality sooner, like I did with NaNo. I'm aiming to write at least 5k words a day again, which will take me to the 10th, but I'm just gonna keep writing and writing until bed time each day, which'll hopefully be more like 7k or even 8k a day which'll take me to about the 8th so that I can refocus on coming out of the head of my characters and back into my own. I'm gonna take each day as it comes though and I'll be happy as long as I write at least 5k a day.
Delilah Jaywurth is gonna be a character in my JanNo novel but I know literally nothing else about her.
Could you help me out with an age range she would be and her relationship to the MC pretty please? It only needs to be "early 20's and she's the MC's accomplice" or "late 70's and she's the MC's mentor" or something like that pretty please?
Thank you!
