Yesterday, I managed to write around 1,000 words or so. I think that’s the most I’ve written in a day since NaNo. Granted, it was spread out through 3 different novels, but still, it’s a lot of words in one day. It took me most of the morning, since I was doing other stuff (cough*facebook*cough), but I felt like I actually did something.
I worked on the family tree a little more. The format of it is still a little weird, but for now, it works, plus the characters have names. There aren’t any last names yet, but first names will work for now. I think today I’m going to work on a couple of the characters- maybe do a character profile. It doesn’t need to be too detailed or anything, because there are going to be so many characters, and I’m still not sure who I want to focus on. I have some ideas on who I want to focus on, but that could change. I really want to leave things open right now, because I don’t want to focus my attention on a few characters, only to change my mind a couple days before the start of NaNo. So I’ll slowly work my way through the family, until every one of them has some sort of biography. Or until I get tired of it, whichever happens first.
I have a lot to work on, but at the same time, it’s nice to be writing so much again. I’ve realized how much I miss writing on a regular basis, and NaNo reminded me of how important it really is. I have so many ideas, and being able to work on them is helping me focus on something.
Have an awesome day everyone!
