It's (finally) here!
While I'm excited that
NaNoWriMo has started, I have to admit that I can't believe it's
NOVEMBER! O.M.G. How did this happen? How are we so close to the end of the year? How is it possible that I now have a 16-year-old daughter? LMAO.
Wow. The year is moving WAY too fast.
Anyway. I got off track.
Let's get back to the fact that I'm super excited about writing this spooky little story that's been living inside my head for several months now.
A story that includes some of my favourite horror tropes, but at its core is all about the strong friendship between a group of friends and the town secrets that could tear them apart.
You know, Halloween might be over, but I plan to spend November in Creepy Town. ;)
There was only one thing on this week's to-do list:
- Start writing NaNoWriMo story!
And I did!
I spent Monday reading a novella, taking final prep notes, getting all my inspirational pics in order, and just thinking about the story. Then on Tuesday, I got stuck into it.
This is how the week's word count went:
- Tuesday: 4,461
- Wednesday: 8,508
- Thursday: 13,038
- Friday: 17,248
I'm very happy with those figures, as well as how the story is shaping up. Everything is flowing well, going according to plan, and a few surprises have already popped up. Threads I didn't expect, but fit so well into the story. I can't wait to write more.
As usual, I'll be taking the weekend off to re-energise my brain. But this little story won't be far from my mind.
Have a good one!
