Nano: week two begins.
Nov. 8th, 2010 09:52 amI only have about seven minutes to write before I am off to a doctor's appointment, so this will be short. I plan to post more later, though as I will probably be needing a break from writing. I'm shooting for 4K today, which I doubt will happen. I'll be happy with 3K, and that's really quite a more reasonable goal as I have a bunch of other stuff to do as well, so perhaps I'll downgrade to that. Reachable goals, reachable goals.
I have written less than 200 words this morning, but it's saying something that I've written at all.
I'm home from work today because I have to go to the doctor. I'm sure my boss isn't too pleased, but that's not really my problem. I've been sick for a few weeks and it's time to actually be checked out. I think it's a sinus infection that has been getting incrementally worse.
Anyway (and I start far too many paragraphs with 'anyway') I've been playing around on the nano forums this morning, which I haven't really done much of yet besides my regional one. It's been nice. I've adopted some text messages to use in my novel and contributed some as well as some band names.
My FMC and MMC have finally met and now I have to sort out the details of what each of them have been up to for the past decade. Thanks to the forums, though, I've at least come to the conclusion that the two of them refer to MMC's sister as "the crocodile". That's not really fair to her, as she's a good person who's done a lot for MMC, but he resents her in a lot of ways, and it's a fun code name.
I really don't want FMC and her boyfriend to be together much longer, but I know they can't separate yet. And I don't know what will happen with their living arrangements when they do. I think FMC will stay in the apartment and her BF will move in with his friend from high school.
In other news, it looks very grey out and cold. I know it's spritzing rain, but from inside I can pretend it's snow. The sky has the right look and the light is right. I just can't look at puddles, which are quite obviously not snow-melt puddles. They are all wrong.
I wish snow would come.
