NaNoWriMo Update

The second post is at my NaNoWriMo blog, for all those who are interested :)

Not much else to report in other news... enjoy the story!

What I did with my extra hour

Okay, the beginning of "Rex" is now posted ... only 675 words though.

Please take a look at it here.

I think I should make a title image for it out of this picture, just because it suits the theme of boxing/Greek tragedy redo (I know it's actually Minoan. Sheesh)


I'm eager to hear what you readers think of this story. It's my first non-fantasy in a very long time :D

NaNoWriMo - Day 1

Eek! It's the first day of NaNoWriMo and I don't have any time to write anything for my story :(

Maybe I'll jot some things down this evening, when I get home from the symphony (yes, I'm off to the symphony with my family).

This isn't a very good start... I'll have to try and write twice as much tomorrow... before I head off shopping with Dee and Corinna all day... hmmm.

Hope you're still interested in the story! Does anyone know if blogger does text cuts like Livejournal?


EDIT: So instead of posting here, I'll put the actual NaNoWriMo story on this blog and just link when I have a new bit update. That should keep this journal clean and let people ignore my writing if they want.

If you *do* read it though, please comment. If I don't think anyone is bothering to read the story, then I won't bother to post it (although I will continue to write it).

NaNoWriMo

Okay, I know I already posted today, but I've been thinking about this all day and decided to write about it anyway.

You all know that November is both NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). Last year I did one blog post a day for the entire month of November, so this year I thought I'd try my hand at the novel writing.

The goal is 50,000 words by the end of the month. That's a little under 2000 words a day. I doubt I can do that, but I will try to complete a rough draft of my latest idea. This is the part where you, blog readers, get to decide what to read.

Would you like to read my daily writing, in the hopes of maybe having a completed story by the end? Or would you like me to keep up my haphazard random posts that may or may not be daily?

Before you decide, here's my idea for NaNoWriMo:

Former boxing champion Oliver "Rex" Kingsley is living a good life. He became world boxing champion at the tender age of 20, and for the past ten years has been retired from the sport, preferring to be with his wife Diana and their three kids. However, his golden life takes a turn for the worst when he's diagnosed with a fatal disease and his only salvation lies in a kidney transplant with a blood relative. Trouble is, he's adopted. Oliver needs to track down his mysterious past to save his life, but soon discovers some secrets are better left forgotten.

So, what say you guys? NaNoWriMo or regular posts?
