I'm continuing to keep up with my NaNo goal.

Nice.

I'm also on track for Nano still...though my writing has slowed considerably as I get to more difficult parts of the story.

Thanks, Jeremiah. You have a lot more words than me, so you should be fine.

Yup.
Yeah, probably...that gives me time to plot more.

I wrote 6,000 words in The Diegosian Warrior (third book in the trilogy) today!!!!! I had to scrap about 600 words, because I just couldn't get to story to work, and then once I did, it started flowing!!!

Some of the writing today involved rough skeletons and dialogue for chapter 5, and about 4,500 of those words were to finish up the scene from chapter 4!!!

I have a lot of touch up work to do, and I'll need to add more detail and reread stuff, but it was a good day's work, and I am very happy with it. Now I'll just have to work on getting what I have all polished up, before I start figuring out how I want to write the next scene.

Oh, and instead of really dealing with the War Council Scene, I just put [insert war council stuffage]. It worked and allowed me to keep going.

*is so happy to hear about progress!!!!*

Does nobody like war council scenes except me?

Is it because mine generally involve holographic planets and bright colors, or am I just nerdy when it comes to military science?


I am actually considering dropping NaNo because school is taking so long. I don't want to do drop it, but it might be my only choice.

As am I.

That's great, Airianna.

That's awesome, Airi!

Now come to the skype chat?

You guys are still on skype? O.O I thought I had missed you all, since I ended up working on my book all day! If you're still on I could pop by.

I like war council scenes, Varon, but I'm not very good at it, and I'm not sure what my guys are supposed to be doing, at the moment. Battle scenes are actually rather fun for me, but that's different that strategizing.

And my trilogy is fantasy, so holograms don't work.

Well, I just got off, I don't know if people are still on or not...but if an Airi got on I might return for a few minutes.

I also like war council scenes, I'm just not smart enough to do them very well.

Well, I should probably give the baby a bath, so I'll have to wait till next week.

Kaitlyn! You are SO good at war council scenes!!! I am in awe of them!

Just yesterday (or the day before) I was promoting your war council scenes.

*laughs! * You are one of my biggest fans, Zoey, I am convinced!

I cannot think of a better series to be a biggest fan of!

*grins *

I'm glad it is coming on well, Airi!



Hehe! I love that!

I don't remember what my last goal was... But Repetition is going very well, I think. Much better than any of my previous stories at least, and I'm coming very close to 70k. I hope to hit 70k and hopefully actually finish the story this month so I can take a break from writing.

I got my 50,000 words in for NaNo, so now I'm continuing towards my goal of finishing the novel in December.

November is done, and so is chapter three, and with a total word count of over 16.5K, too!

I'd like to get two chapters done in December, but we'll see how that shapes up.

*goes to write her monthly blog post on writing progress*

Good work, Zoe.

Goal: Get Conviction ready to write by the end of January
Goal: Finish preparing for writing Retaliation (date unknown right now, it'll be based on when I get Conviction ready)

And no, Conviction is in no way related to the Battlehost Trilogy. It's a standalone steampunk-fantasy.

Goal: Get the "Dreamwalkers" novella finished before the end of the month so I can self-publish it.

Well, book one of Supervillains is done. I don't care what anyone thinks about it, unless it's a typo I'm not rewriting another word of that book.

And I have only two months to rewrite Book 2, and I haven't touched it since I wrote it the first time back in June. Joy, joy, joy....

Wonderful! Well done, Jaynin!

I'm working on it! I will have it back to you ASAP; I have been so busy, which isn't a good excuse. But there it is! I'll try and finish it off very soon! (like within the week!)

Ooh.


Is that the one I'm going to be reading? I'll have to get on top of that.

My goal is to... not write this month.

Elanor and Lycanis - Thanks a bunch, both of you. As long as you get back to me sometime this month that would be great. It'll be my main project pretty much from now until the end of January.

My pleasure Katie. Okay, I should be able to do that. *may need to be poked, but hopefully won't*

If you fail to meet that goal... I won't mind.

*grins* I could have guessed that.

*Laughs*




I'll make sure I send it you before then, Jaynin! I'm gonna do some more now.

Hm, I don't think I've posted here before. Is there an accountability thing? (Like if you don't meet your goals, people fill your pm box with complaints and demands?) Anyway...

Goal 1: To edit/work on/rewrite The Last Storming (NaNo) so that I'm ready to write its sequel next year. XD To be done by the end of September.
Goal 2: To get The Turq Wars ready for next year's NaNoWriMo. To be done by the end of October.
Goal 3: To finally finish the first draft of Carousel and be able to post every last word here. To be done by the end of July. This one scares me...
Goal 4: To get two items--poem or short story, probably--published sometime this coming year, likely on a non-paying e-magazine type thing. To be done by the end of December 2013.

Those are good goals, Vav. Best of luck with your endeavors.

Thanks, Tarin...I'll try. I'm horrible at procrastination so maybe this will help. *hopeful yet-doubting smile*

Well, I have reviewed the first 4 chapters and have them as finished as they will be for this draft. I have been working on the 5th chapter today, and hope to finish it by this evening, if all goes well.

This is for The Diegosian Warrior (book 3), by the way.

That's great, Airi! I hope that goes well.

Still been working on Repetition. I don't expect to finish this year like I'd hoped to, so my new goal is to get at least a thousand words on it each day 'til the first draft is done.

Wow, that is a big goal, but I know you can make it!

Mine is to finish the planning for DSQ by midsummer, and then proceed to drafting.

Excellent.

Thank you, Airi. I hope so. I got 1600 words today, and I think I'm getting close to the end...(though I've been saying that for a month now )

I got 1,300. Not as much as I wanted, because I ran into a problem, but at least it was some progress!!

Progress is good.

Yes.

Thanks, guys.

Yes, progress is always good (well, in writing at least.)

Well, I am making it today. So I'm excited. I worked past the section I couldn't get last night, and I'm now trying to write the last part of the scene that will wrap up chapter five, so I'm going strong at the moment and feeling immensly pleased.

I'm glad.

Me too. I'm now up to 3,000 words and I just need to figure out how to wrap up this scene with the information I need to add into the end of it.
