Ugh. Only 375 words today. I spent almost six hours in the car today, so I really didn't have a lot of time for writing. x.x I'm going to keep hoping that I can catch up...

trystan830 11-11-2017 01:17 AM

ugh. honestly, i hate road trips in November when i have a full NaNo i'm working on.....

I made my hubby drive and I was able to get about 3000 words written on my iPad this morning as he drove to our volunteer meeting several hours away.
One of my friends caught up to her word count riding in the car Thanksgiving weekend by writing about 10K words.
Just don't recommend that if you're driving. :P

I made my wife drive, but I had to do REAL work during the trip since I didn't have the day off.

ZenKitty 11-11-2017 08:21 PM

LOL. Yes. Paid work definitely comes before fun.

Coda 11-12-2017 12:10 AM

Another day of not having as much time to write as I wanted. It's hard to stay focused on writing with all the noise that comes with visiting my inlaws.

ZenKitty 11-12-2017 02:49 PM

That will be me at Thanksgiving. Down south visiting in-laws. Full house with kids and lots of flurry of activity. I'll probably wind up getting up before every one else to write and then going to a write in on Friday.

Coda 11-13-2017 10:27 AM

I like how this latest chapter turned out! I included a YouTube soundtrack link. XD

I really hope I can get more writing done now that I'm home. Getting off to a good start, at least, but I'm so far behind... At this point it's better to just recalculate my quota than to try to catch up. I need to write 2260 words per day now if I want to hit 50k before the end of the month.

this is why (when i'm not being a rebel! XD ) my own, internal 'deadline' is to try to have the word count (yep, all 50k) by Thanksgiving.

my other internal deadline is to have the story finished by 11/30. or before. XD

I started NaNo this year but then my laptop hard drive decided to die (the laptop was over a decade old...) and took the 20k I had written with it. I was a fool for not backing up my work. I have my husband's laptop now but the keyboard has a lot of issues that slow down my typing a lot so I have kind of just given up on NaNo this year.

trystan830 11-13-2017 01:15 PM

gah, sorry to hear that, Mekatra!

i use google docs every year, and back it up on a flashdrive. i'm also a little paranoid, too XD

Coda 11-13-2017 01:29 PM

I'm posting my story here on Trisphee and crossposting it to Sufficient Velocity so I have two separate offsite backups. :P

EDIT: ... wait a sec, Google Drive?

DANGIT, I never lost the prologue in the first place! I still have it on Drive! Oh well.

trystan830 11-13-2017 01:34 PM

yep, google drive. or google docs. =)

Mekatra 11-13-2017 01:44 PM

Yeah, a lot of people have told me about that since I mentioned my being an idiot and losing all my work. I'm old school enough that I didn't even think about "cloud storage" and never replaced the usb drive that my dog decided to snack on a couple months ago. I was ill prepared and payed the price. -ghostly voice- Don't be me kids, back up your works~

If I can get the money together before the end of the month to buy a new laptop I shall maybe try to mad dash something out. You never know. The idea of NaNo is to get the words on the page, right? It doesn't have to be good. That's what December and January are for lol.

Coda 11-13-2017 01:45 PM

Reading through it, I'm actually glad I did rewrite it. Wily's voice was a little better before but the content itself is way better now.
