Last Sentence: “Nonsense. I wasn’t thinking, that’s all.”
Hate it, hate it, hate it. But I've got to force myself to get through my "hate it" phase or I'll never finish. *Sigh*

NaNoWriMo 2011 Day 12 and 13

Last Sentence: He tried not to think about the coffins that lined the walls as he took one shuffling step, then another, through the debris of leaves, moss and who knows what else that lined the floor of the catacombs.
Didn't get any writing done yesterday (I went to Disney on Ice with a friend and her kids) but caught up today. Disappointingly this caused me to lose my lead of about 1000 words, which I had hoped to save up for Thanksgiving. I'll try to get ahead again but I don't know if that's going to happen.
I was also disappointed to find that I forgot to update the actual NaNoWriMo site with my daily word count for the past few days. It's up to date now, but on my stats graph it looks like I wrote nothing for five days and then wrote 11500 words all in one day. I wish!

Total Words: 19497
Last Sentence: “I don’t know,” she said, exasperated. “Just fight him!”
Ugh, I am feeling the "I'm nearly to 20K and I'm starting to hate this" blues coming on. For some reason I always get this way around 20K and often it causes me to give up. The ideas stop flowing and everything starts to feel forced. I hope I can push through it this time.

NaNoWriMo 2011 Day 10
Daily Words: 2186
Total Words: 17805
Last Sentence: “Go, my love!” she called after Dennis. “You’re free!”
I managed to buckled down today and challenged myself to write 1000 words in an hour. It ended up being more like an hour and ten minutes, but that's still pretty good. Two hours and twenty minutes later, I had 2186 words (okay, I did break for lunch in there, but still!).
Yup, Mr. Bean.

I'm starting to think that I may need to change my main character's last name. He is male, does not have a PhD and his last name is "Bean." Guess what everyone calls him?
Yup, Mr. Bean.

NaNoWriMo 2011 Day 9
Daily Words: 1683
Total Words: 15619
Last Sentence: “Stay away from me!” Simon dodged around the creature, out in to the hall, through the kitchen and, still completely nude, he ran out of the flat.
Yikes, I need to get it together. With practically the whole day free, it should not take me until 10 PM to get my 1667 words. Here's to hoping it gets better tomorrow!

NaNoWriMo 2011 Day 7 and Day 8
Daily Words: 3582
Total Words: 13936
Last Sentence: “We were discussing my theory about your associate here,” Mammon said.
I think I only got about 400 words written yesterday (and that was after sitting at the computer for three hours). I had nothing planned for today, so I was able to make up what I didn't do yesterday in addition to meeting today's goal.
A lot of it was being at a very dull point in the story - one character visits the eye doctor, the other is looking for a lost book. Once I got past those scenes, it got much easier.
Here are the responses I got when I asked people to guess my story from the cover:

Here are the responses I got when I asked people to guess my story from the cover:
I think it has something to do with trains or subways, maybe a mystery on the train. - Charlotte
Based on the cover and title I'm guessing there is a killer loose in the subway system somewhere? - Erika Jean
Everyone was partially right. It does involve trains and subways, it is about a writer and there are ghosts...and demons, and grim reapers and probably lots of other supernatural beings! I'm not quite at the point where I want to post a full description (what if I decide to change something?) but I will say what I said over at the NaNoWriMo site: it's a paranormal "bromance." Think of that what you will! ;)I think it is about a writer who needs to desperately finish his book but is having some psychological battle with a ghost who may or may not be a figment of his imagination. - Brigette
