(I need more writing related icons)
Halfway, baby! *does dance of joy*
That's 25,000 words in eight days. I'm way ahead of the curve, but that's nothing to brag about. There is a guy in my region that did 25,000 words in just four days, according to the posting board. He either has a very good story or he has a lot of time on his hands.
But I think I've hit the point where I'm starting to run out of story. I only plotted, like, a third of the plot before I started writing and I'm well past that point. Now I'm in the middle section and I have no idea where the story is headed. I just keep writing, throwing in details that may or may not be useful later on. This so me writing by the seat of my pants. I have a vague idea for an ending, but how do you get there when you don't know what's in-between? I guess I'll just keep writing and maybe throw in some unnecessary flashbacks if I'm reaching the back stretch too soon.
Oh, and now I can take the 15th off to watch Doctor Who and Top Gear. Why, BBC, does both shows have to come back on the same night?
And kind of off topic, but a year ago today I bought my Xbox 360. It was the main reason I didn't do NaNoWriMo last year. I got sucked in to playing Mass Effect every free hour I had. Good thing its sequel isn't out until January or I would have been doomed writing-wise this year.
I need some chocolate now...
