NaNoWriMo: Status report 1
2007-11-02
End of day one, 2,139 words done (4.3%).
The story is being serialised on my new [beta] story CMS. Please go read it, perhaps subscribe to one of the feeds, and come back here to comment. NaNoWriMo is great, but last year I chickened out and the year before I just straight failed, so it would be really nice to get the impression that someone is reading.
Besides, although the text is probably pretty shoddy (not helped by the fact that I have no time for editing or redrafting), the story might get quite interesting. It could almost be worth reading.
Comments on the story are welcome here; the story CMS on its own doesn't support them.
[Commends about the CMS itself are also welcome, but might be better suited to the previous post.]
Thanks, guys.
Update: Day 4 (and not yet over...): ~5,150 words, ~10.3%. I really need a new counting algorithm: the current one counts ' - ' and ' ... ' as words (which inflates the count by perhaps a dozen words in every thousand or so) and counts all new-lines as paragraph breaks (which increases paragraphs by one per scene).
Plus I need to write another 1,500 words tonight to stay on target. But the night is young.
