WOO HOO, Saoirse! Congratulations!

Fabulous total, Ken! And nice to be back with the non-crazy character. Amazing cover. Your designer is fabulous.

2,225 tonight. My goal is to finish NaNoing on Wednesday, and then maybe take a day off.

Thanks, Liz, it was a good day. Actually came on here to update my total, pounded out a few more tonight. (Back in the killers POV.) I love the cover too. Patti always does a fantastic job and blows me away.

Wow, talk about word counts, you are blowing it away! Good luck with NaNo.

Was going to add to my other post, but already had an ETA to ETA. So, added another 332 words in the killers POV, bringing my total today up to 1475!

ETA: Okay, okay, I know, stop adding words or wait until you know you're done before posting. I can't help if the killer decides to bend my ear, and that isn't often so I have to take advantage when he does. Added another 104 and that makes 1579 for the day! First time in a while that I've topped 1500 in a single day.

Well, not nearly as prolific today as yesterday, but then I'm working with the psycho again. Added 202 to that WIP, and since it wasn't going anywhere, and I haven't done anything on WIP #2 for a while, I pulled it up. Ended up adding a whopping 130 to it. So, word count wise, I have measly 332 for the day. *sigh* But that is better than 0 any day.



Good luck and good writing!

Oh, and if anyone is interested, I posted two entries in LOTD. One from each WIP. Caution, the one from WIP #2 contains explicit language.

Liz! You can do it!

Good luck on the revisions, Erin.

I don't really outline, at least not in the traditional sense. I tried it with the first Kelli Storm novel and by chapter 3 it was so far off, I just abandoned it. I do plot things out, and do bios and background on my characters, but no outlining. Starting with the second Kelli book, I did start a timeline calendar, mostly for major events. It kept me in check when I'd run into a possible plot hole.

This isn't to say that outlines are bad, they just don't work for me.

Not a lot on either WIP. Added 131 to WIP #1 yesterday, wrapping up the killers POV, and managed to get another 422 on Cal's POV today. That gives me a two day total of 553 words. Cest' la vie.


ETA: Added another 213 to wrap up Cal's POV, bringing me to 635 for the day. Not great, but not bad.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my AW friends, from the Peanuts gang and me.

So you had two thimbles full.



Nice work on the plotting, Liz.

After watching my Cowboys lose and stuffing myself with turkey, trimmings and three Sapporo beers, I crashed for about an hour. I did pull the WIP up and made some edits to what I already have, and ended up adding a whopping 64 words. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
