Preparation for nanowrimo

Hi!!

First I thought I have a plot and a brilliant idea now I'm not sure about it anymore. Last night I thought I had a good idea but I doubt that I can write 50,000 words about it :O maybe half but not that much... so I'll continue to brood until I find something that I will stick to it :)

I think I'm worn out from all the plotting.. *lol* I think I might start from scratch and write anything and build up that story along the way. I am not sure but all I know that anything is allowed, as long as you keep writing. I could write about different things if I can't make up my mind and then see what I can use in December :)

We'll see it in the end. I'm excited. In less than a week it starts :)))

Catch-up

Hey! I hope you all are doing well and getting ready for Easter. Yay tomorrow's Easter. I have a couple of things going on but I'm too tired to write now, so I'll keep this short and just say 'hi' to you all. I've been doing a lot of writing in the past few days. My little "story" is at bit over 11,000 words not bad and it's my 7th day so I'm doing quite well. I try to write 1667 words each day, it's more like a diary so for but it's okay as long as I have the basic I can alway change things and play around make it sound more like a novel whatever ;)))

will write more soon.

Nanowrimo| Are you stuck??

Hello! A short update on my nanowrimo challenge. It's my 4th day and yesterday I felt a bit stuck and not really into the mood to write so I wrote something a bit off track. I am sure that I will do a lot of cut and paste after this month but that should not be my worry at the moment. Editing is for December or whenever you feel ready to do so.

Today I was a bit more productive but I still need a few more words and then I'm done for today. I had this wonderful thought.

Remeber when you were at school and had to take an exam. There was this tricky question and you just didn't know how to answer it but but then you thought if I do write something as an answer anything at all it will still count.

The teacher can then decide if he gives you a point or not or just half the point BECAUSE you have written somthing. See the same goes for NaNoWriMo. If you do write something you can later decide if this can be used for sth. your story at the end of this month or not but I you haven't written anything at all then you can't do it. Does that make sense? So each time you feel blocked just tell yourself "I'm going to write something anything, even if this currently does not have anything to do with my story. I can delete it later after this month. If I have something written then I can also choose if I'm going to keep some of the paragraphs or not." :))

Well, I hope that makes somehow sense. I'm quite into it and feel already a bit scatter-brained but it's fun. :)) so keep writing!

Have a great day

My first 561 words of NANOWRIMO 2009

Chapter 1

"Where should I begin? And I thought that my life would be easy but it was not. It all turned out different, in a way, I never expected it or dreamed that it would happen. So how do I begin writing my story? How do I best explain the incidents which are still so vivid in my head as if it all happened yesterday whereas it happened a while ago? How do I best explain all this to you without causing you any further pain but yet make you understand the situation better? I am scared to write about it but you just have to know it and sooner or later you would find it out yourself. I wanted to save you the embarrassement so I will do the first step and tell you everything." she did not realize that she was thinking aloud.

She looks into the mirror and does not recognize herself anymore.

"Oh, I look so broken." and touches her forehead. She does not regoznize this face in the mirror anymore.

"I am not this happy woman I used to be but there is little hope" she runs her fingers trhough her hair.

"There is little hope that is growing inside me, I can see it and it gives me hope." She keeps starring at her other self in the mirror and then looks down to her stomach and is lost in her thoughts.

"There must be a reason for all this." she looks up.

"I have been told that everything happens for a reason and there is a reason for why those things happened to me." she sighs aloud. She hasa hard time to focus on the good things but just tries to keep it all together, her life, her situation for the child's sake.

All of a sudden she felt a bit dizzy and decided to sit down and went to her bed. She could feel her pulse beating fast in her head in a quite unusual irregular interval. There was this pressure inside her head as if her thoughts wanted to break out of her skull.

"Oh make this stop." she told herself, while rubbing her forehead so as to ease this uncomfortable pain, which she felt inside her head. She tried to close her eyes and think of soemthing beautiful to distract her mind. She breathed heavily. This beating pulse she could still feel in her head and she was not sure whether this came from this thing growing inside her or from thinking too much about the other stuff that happened.

She feels very exhausted lately and decided to take a little nap which she would definitely do her good. She turns around. She just cannot sleep on her stomach as she did before. It just feels uncomfortable and makes her feel nauseous so she turns to the other side. She was about to fall asleep when she thoguht she just heard something and got up after taking a deep breath. She thoguht she was being paranoid but it did not let her in peace so she had to get up and check from where this strange voice came. Or maybe this voice is just coming from inside her head? She has no idea but took all her strength to get up and look for the source of the voice.
