Kim is still kicking my ass.

I finished that pesky second chapter. Are all of you whom are participating writing your stuff in order? I think I like that when I am rushed like this. Too much jumping around takes up an awful lot of time. It's turning out much different than I'd planned it, and I'm having some difficulty reigning these asshats in. My characters are really pulling every which way. Plus a shost showed up. No big though, because I think Ophelia will make short work of him. I don't want to base a story around a spirit, because that's not my bag. But I like the idea of presenting it as a semi-normal everday experience and never really explaining it. Because shit like that doesn't usually get explained; and it's not the main point of the story.

Anyway, if I write anything else tonight, I won't post about it until later.

I'm not writing in order so far, but since I'm only 1000 words in, that could change. :)

I tried that once and it didn't work well for me. I finished 15 chapters, then wrote the end and felt totally stuck and never finished. It was awful.

May you have better luck than I.

Thanks! I never tried writing a novel out of order before, so if nothing else, it will make an interesting experiment. It certainly can't make revising a first draft any HARDER, anyway. :P

More braaaaaaains!

Indeed I do.

shost = spirit ghost?

Is a spirit different than a ghost? Help! Please expound.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Sorry to confuse. As it happens, I can't type worth a crap. It's a plain old ghost haunting this bereaved woman.

Well, I have now joined the NaNoWriMo club. Heh, I'm a thousand words in... plus a few, I forget off hand. I plan on getting chapter one finished, before bed.

Out of curiosity, how do you get the word count to post in the lj?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

This:
http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/
Is the one that does the bar meter. This one stays the same once you post it.

This:
http://www.shipbrook.com/nanowrimo/login.html
is the one that will update automatically when you update on the site. I have this one on my info page.

Good luck.

Right on! What name are you using at the site? i'll add you to my "writing buddies" list.

[aicerno.livejournal.com]

Same name I'm using here. I'm a firm believer in consistency.

Just look for Aicerno and you will find he/me.
