Nano 2012 – Day 10
Another brutal day for poor Pariahs. Between podcasting this morning, working on an overdue article, and making an exhausting TGWWBK post office run (on less than 5 hours sleep) and the words that came out were not so great.
Where was I for Day 10 last year you ask? Ouch. A cool 53,001.
Today’s word count: 580

Day was entirely lost to doing TGWWBK related things. I’m sure those of you waiting for TGWWBK books are glad in this!

Nano 2012 – Day 08
Again, I did a fair bit of writing today, but very little of it for Nano. It’s bumming me out to be failing so hard on these deadlines, but I honestly worked all day either for my job or on The Girl Who Would Be King stuff – preparing things to be mailed and what have you. Speaking of TGWWBK – you’ve only got about 24 more hours left for the 99 cent sale, so get it while it’s uber cheap instead of just regular cheap!
Okay, so here’s the sad little count. I really have to carve out some serio...

Nano 2012 – Day 06
Oh book. Stop being so troublesome. Election plus having to write a review unexpectedly, plus needed to get more sleep than last night equals no words tonight. Will try to make it up tomorrow, definitely running behind this year – gotta focus!

Nano 2012 – Day 05
Gah. I forgot how tough this book is. I remembered (too late!) the difficult world building choices, and that in my first 25k I jumped around a lot – something I swore I would never do again after how tough THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING was to edit.

Nano 2012 – Day 04
Yikes. Bad day for writing. Had to spend a good chunk of the day with Kickstarter spreadsheets, and then of course needed a column for She Has No Head!, it equaled most of my time being eaten up by non-Nano things and some Nano research. So, yeah, all that to say, very low word count, again. Oh, I did rename the project, which is good, but I’m keeping that under wraps for now.
Word count for today: 745
