Last Week Of NaNoWriMo

The trick isn't to write a published novel right out of the gate.

The trick is to write something you can work with.  Get the ideas out there.  Create.

This week requires 11,000 more words out of me (I have fallen behind).  I want to get to 50,000.  I will achieve that moment...

NaNoWriMo Day 16: No Rest For The Weary

I did hit 25,000 words yesterday which is on pace for the 50,000 words needed for the month.  Now it's a question of exceeding the pace, both tonight as well as tomorrow (Saturday).

How is everyone else doing with their NaNo writing?  Anyone?  (p.s if you can't post a comment here lemme know, email me at p.warten AT gmail, okay?)

I'd Like To Post About Skyfall Being an Oscar-Worthy Bond Movie, But Instead I Gotta NaNo

I'm falling about 5,000 words off the pace.  Ack.

NaNoWriMo Update 11/4/12

As of this morning, the official NaNoWriMo word count is: 6110 words.

I will update to this evening, and give the statistical numbers such as words per day, expected completion date, and level of awesomeness.

I Feel A Disturbance In The Force... Oh, It's Just Goofy

The latest news getting all geekdom atwittering:

Disney has bought out LucasFilm aka the Star Wars franchise, and is already working on making Episode VII scheduled for a 2015 release.

Which brings up the big questions:

1) Will Princess Leia be included in the Disney Princess line-up?  If she does, she better be wielding a lightsaber!

Thank God for Deviant Art! (this was the kid-friendliest version I could find.  The rest were Leia in her other costume... yeah, THAT costume...)

2) Is Disney buying up every geek-loved franchise out there?  First it was Marvel... Now Star Wars... Oh dear God, RUN DOCTOR WHO RUN!

3) Will Disney make the planned sequels more akin to how they handled Pirates of the Caribbean - which were darker and edgier than most Disney-made films - or will they make 'em like their cable channel kid-friendly what-the-hell stuff?

4) And the most important question of all: will Mickey be tempted to the Dark Side by Darth Duck?

The Day Before NaNoWriMo 2012 Begins

Was actually spent cleaning up the house a bit for tonight: it IS Halloween after all.

Another blog post is forthcoming for the day.  Please wait.

I've Decided On My NaNo Plot for 2012

For NaNoWriMo 2012, I'm focusing on the superhero novel idea.

It's based in the same 'Verse I've set up in The Hero Cleanup Protocol story.

I have a few characters in mind lined up.  I'll need to refresh meself to the rules of the 'Verse as I've set them.

Now, for the 50,000 words...
