So I've decided to work on my newly-begun WIP, a YA Dystopian. I've never done dystopian before, but the idea of altering the norm is really fascinating to me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I began the half-marathon with 4,400 words and I'm only now up to 9,200, but I'm loving it! The story is unfolding nicely and I can see the big picture, which is much better than I can say for my latest completed MS that, frankly, stinks! I'm actually gonna re-write it (as mentioned in my NaNo post just below this one), so maybe I can fix it...we'll see!
But anyway, for those of you wanting to get focused on writing and give yourself a challenge, go sign up on their blog...and join in the controlled chaos!
We started last Thursday, but trust us, we need more competition. Er, what I meant to say was - erica isn't holding up her end, so please enter and not let her be in DEAD last alone.

You're blowing the rest of us away with your word count! Yay you! I'm getting more consistent, though... what's that about the underdogs and all? ;) Nice to meet you! I'm also doing nano - if you want to add me I'm desviado. Look forward to getting to know you. :)
ReplyDeleteNice, glad I checked this to see that erica is trying to pass as me! :0) Keep me posted on your word counts. I'm still heading (ever so slowly toward the finish line!) Thanks, Jamie! christy (really, it is)
