Umm...*casually sidles into thread*

I'm working on draft 1.5 of my high fantasy WIP, but feeling pretty depressed with it. I'm wondering if I should start working on another project that as of the moment interests me more, but if I do that I'm afraid I'll never finish this story.... I just want to finish something, dammit!

Elysium · Apr 8, 2012

Hey bickazer!

*sigh* I know that feeling. Believe me.

Parametric · Apr 8, 2012

Hi bickazer! Good to see you. :LilLove:

It was after our conversation that I decided to do a Nanowrimo this month. I need a push over the finish line.

And thanks Para. This friendly competition is really helping. I just have to keep reminding myself not to look over anything I write and to just keep going.

I'm afraid my self-discipline isn't as good as yours - I'm still polishing and expanding on material I wrote last night. But when it gets late enough and my critical judgement has fallen asleep I'll crank out a ton of wordage. :tongue

I'm going slow.

This scene is introducing Scarlett's family... over dinner.

ETA: Thank God, I'm on the 32nd page.

Woot! Just passed the 2.2K mark.

Think I'll take a break, do some reading, and get started on my homework. I've been putting it off for a while now.

amlptj · Apr 8, 2012

Ok I'm back and with regular internet! yayaya! While gone i wrote another 2.5K!

How is everyone else doing?

lisalulu09 · Apr 8, 2012

Slow.

Elysium · Apr 8, 2012

Hey Ally!

My SNI is doing well considering the fact that it's a genre that I have never written before.

amlptj · Apr 8, 2012

I see your progressing well Ely! Congrats!

lisalulu09 · Apr 8, 2012

I have an urge to rewrite Invincible/Firework... or work on an SNI I had ages ago. Not good.

Keith Moon is officially the greatest drummer of all time.

Mum would be proud.

bickazer · Apr 8, 2012

Tired + no inspiration, so randomly beginning a new story.

We'll see how this goes. *fingers crossed*

lisalulu09 · Apr 8, 2012

Should be in bed. Watching videos of The Beatles instead.

amlptj · Apr 8, 2012

That's what i did the other day and i'm already 22k in four days!

lisalulu09 · Apr 8, 2012

And now I'm going.

Elysium · Apr 8, 2012

Bye lisa!

Thalia · Apr 8, 2012

Okay, Lisa... everything from Disney's "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" and Alicia Keys' "No One" to... "Smoke On The Water" and "Y.M.C.A."

Elysium · Apr 8, 2012

Current word count: 4,222.

This is the most I've written in a while. I love my new wip!

Parametric · Apr 8, 2012

Wow! Was that wordcount all tonight? That's awesome.

Elysium · Apr 8, 2012

Yep.

Parametric · Apr 8, 2012

Damn, you're good.

I'm done for the night at 3500 words, so I think you win. :tongue

Horserider · Apr 8, 2012

Wow Ely! That's awesome!

I wish I could compete with someone. I really need the motivation. Except I can't decide which WIP I want to work on.

bickazer · Apr 8, 2012

Congrats Ely!

Wow, I am making great progress with this new story. Already 1100 words in and started writing less than an hour ago!

Guess I really did need to take a break from that major project of mine. XD

Hehe. I think I just got extremely lucky today. Tomorrow, I bet, is going to be an entirely different story.
