nanowrimo day 9 – now all online! :::

Posted 09 Nov 2009 in NaNoWriMo,News,Photo Post,Ramblings

In the ultimate display of public procrastination I have posted all eleven chapters of my NaNovel on my shiny new Posterous blog. After three days of no writing due to work, work, work and exhaustion I am trying to get going again and managed another chapter this morning before the procrastination demon took over and made me set up Posterous and write this blog post about it! I will write more just as soon as this post is finished, I promise.

The target word count for today is 15000, which I probably won’t reach, but I’m enjoying settling in to the world of the novel again and seeing it on a web page makes it all the more real and fun. Please remember this is unedited writing from someone who doesn’t consider themselves a ‘proper’ novelist (yet!) – so do read it in that spirit.

By the way, it’s bloody freezing in my flat at the moment.

    great, now more other novels to read, ergo, less time to write my own.

    Thanks for nothing

    Well Steve, if you will go forging ahead in the word count overachievement stakes I must think of ploys to compete! No babies this end though, sorry.
