Project Goal: To get a first draft of a romance/contemporary novel.

Stage of writing: First Draft

What inspired my current project: A story that was going to be based off a couple of characters in my head that were supposed to be a comic. Then I realized I need a story before I actually draw it. lol

Last Update WC: 0

Week's Total WC: 8,400
Total Story WC: 8,400

Daily WC:

1. 1,925
2. 2,075
3. 2,200
4. 2,200
5. 0
6. 0
7. 0

If you're curious about my math (I adjust as needed but I always underestimate my current word count):

• Write 7 pages like normal in my current Staples Sustainable Earth Composition Notebook
• Count words by line for each of those 7 pages then divided by number of lines on the page (25 lines)
• Take averages of all 7 pages then find average words per line = 11.2 words
• 11 (words) x 25 (lines) = 275 words per page
• 1667 (daily word count) / 275 = 6.06 pages
• Round up and overestimate word count = 7 pages a day

Thus I need to write at least 7 pages a day to make my daily word count.

No excerpts since I'm hand writing everything and don't want to type it up as I go but have some blurred pictures instead! lol *dodges tomatoes*

Update #1

Nanowrimo 2014 + Inktober

Happy Belated Halloween and Nanowrimo!

So, I fell off the wagon with Inktober but I managed to get a little over half way done. Here are the rest of them if you're curious to see. Some of them turned out better and some worse than I expected but it was still a fun little exercise I was able to do for the month.

The job hunt is still on but I'm trying to stay optimistic. I'm glad to have a good part time job for now but I really feel like I'm not doing as well as I hoped. Still fighting and doing my best, that's all I can do after all, isn't it? lol

Well, going to try to get some posts prepared for Nanowrimo so I won't have an excuse to not get it done this month. :D Hope you guys are ready for a bunch of Nanowrimo posts with little excerpts! lol
