Have a Quick Update -- NaNoWriMo Edition
Nov. 4th, 2009 01:03 am* I haven't been able to keep up with LJ or Twitter so much because I've been pretty busy with NaNoWriMo. If anything happens that you'd like me to know about, feel free to point me to an entry and I'll read it.
* So far, I've got 6,859 words out of 50,000. Originally, I had planned to write the story from the point of view of only one of my characters, Ebenezer, but today, I experimented with having part of it told by a second character, Simon. I'm not too sure how I feel about it though, and I think I might end up taking the sections told from Simon's perspective out. Besides, Simon is kind of random, and I get the feeling that it would be funnier for the reader (Hah hah hah! Like anyone's going to read this!) to not know what he's thinking ahead of time when he springs shit on Ebenezer. I'm also not terribly broken up about taking those parts out because it'll only knock a couple of hundred words off my total. I've been writing like gangbusters anyway, and I'm a little bit ahead of where I need to be at this point.
* If there's anybody else I missed out there who is doing NaNoWriMo and who I haven't friended on nanowrimo.org, let me know and I'll add you.
* I'm really happy that I decided to write a comedy instead of some more serious ideas that I've had rattling around in my brain for awhile. I think it turned out to be a far more manageable project for NaNo.
*Oh hey! Look at the time! It's late! Time for bed, people!
