So, Plotting. Yeah. That's what I was going to work on to help spur me into the last week of NaNo. So, I did and then did nothing else. Actually, I really didn't need to plot much. It's basically already there. There's some nuance stuff that's not but it can really only come out when I'm writing/rewriting/editing. Only about half of Daniel's stuff is written, but I'm not sure where it goes. It's dependent upon what day of the week it is, so that will depend on where things fall timewise. That's what needs to get figured out.
I suppose sitting down, putting the
events on cards and mapping it all out will be what I need to do. I'm too locked into the timeline when I look
at the plotlines I have mapped in Excel. But it's set up on a daily basis, locking things into specific places. What I need to do needs to be more fluid than that. I
need to get it all pieced together without the day to day in my line of
sight.
I stopped writing for NaNo. I didn't do any writing for the last two days
and what I did on Friday was only my blog and my journal. That's it.
A very teeny portion of me feels guilty for not finishing the month, but
I was burned out. Completely and totally. I spent the weekend playing on Sims.
That was good. I was able to clear my mind. I started having spontaneous thoughts about
the book a little here and there. Not what
it has been but it's coming back.
I can do these last three days but I'm not
sure if I'm going to. I'm looking
forward to the editing process of Part 2.
I'm planning for that… and to paint the living room. I'd like to have the painting done so I can
put up the Christmas tree. But, I'm
going to work on both of them. I'm not
in a rush to paint nor to edit.
So, that is what it is. I got 176k words logged into this NaNo. It might be a little more if I decide to do
some over the next few days, but if not, I got a pretty impressive number and
it's a personal record.
I think it's done. NaNo 2016 for me, is done.
I printed out the alpha versions of Part 2. Here's a picture:
The duck is sitting on an alpha version of Part 1 and represents 43 of the 49 chapters, less 10,000 words from the final print. Part 2 is on the left and seems to be a little bit bigger....
I'll check in tomorrow.
I'll check in tomorrow.
