This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC |
This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario. An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index" Feel free to comment and interact. |
NaNoWriMo #3 Day 3. Started the day with an idea for Merit Badge Magic's special badge ("Peace" prompt), and so I spent the morning working on that. Only 167 words, but they're still new words. (And, hey!, you can check it out here: "Mental Peace" !) Then came my normal Sunday morning video call to the USA. It's Saturday night for her, Sunday morning for me, and we spent over 4 hours chatting merrily away. Then I went back to the cryptid story. I wrote two more chapters... and they were taking me into a dead end, so I started again, and still couldn't get it. Then I realised I had two people in hospital! So a visit to them to sow the seeds that this danger is still there and is very animalistic. Perfect. 3871 words and a few chapters later, and it's back to flowing. I have 6 endings staring at me at the moment. * narrator is the only survivor * narrator and wife are the only survivors, and we finish with them talking to their daughter (already established as spending the time with her grandparents) * I only kill one more camper and the lazy guy * the creatures attack the town and many died, and there are hundreds of them * the day is saved by the professional palaeontologists, with the two couples surviving... There was a 7th ending, that they are forced to move out of the camp site, but I don't think that's going to work. How am I going to get the creatures to move as well? I'll have to let the characters lead me onwards, I guess. Daily words: 4038 Total words: 21380 |
