455 over here. Lots more waffling on my end then I was happy with, but I left myself starting a blank section instead of picking up a half full page so eh, at least I've got a start now.
- 202 words. This scene is silly. It's to broken from where I left these characters off, I'm definitely going to have to add a chapter with them at some point earlier in the story.
446 here - I was a couple of minutes late (distractions always!)
- Yay distractions.
(@ crevannight) Want to go again at :15?
I left off mid-thought (finished the sentence, though). This is proving to be a really rough scene for me. It's one of those difficult-for-the-characters stilted scenes and involves 6 different characters all at once. I can't even describe this scene (I just tried to summarize it 3 different ways and they all sucked) other than painful to write.
- sounds icky. I remember having that problem with my other story, having 5 MCs plus supporting characters always is hard!
I'm up for one more round. :) That'll probably it for me tonight though.
But hey, you're making progress and once it's done you'll feel so much better about it! (Well, the being done with it part at least, lol!)
Distractions indeed. I know this feeling. ;)
I can go again at :15! Provided the cat (who has laid down on my non-dominant arm) removes herself. Oh kitty. You are inconvenient.
It's my MC, plus my two additional MCs (the Love Interest and the LI's half-sister), main MC's father and maternal aunt, and main MC's best friend. At the final evening meal before main MC leaves on a long trip. AND he and the LI just essentially got engaged. Which is totally cool in the minds of everyone except Auntie who takes it rather personally but she can't outright SAY that, so there is a subtle snap and bigoted asshattery in every line of her dialogue. It's just... ouch. I heavily dislike writing it and I'm REALLY looking forward to being past it! (thank you for the encouragement XD)
- Ouch, that sounds like a lot of drama! So much drama!
- I got 269 words that time. A bit more, but still not great. But better than nothing! Turtling my way along. over 4k total now :) Slowly making up for lost days. I hope to be ahead by tomorrow because I work thursday and that's gonna dampen my progress.
450 this time. And scooted the offensive character off-screen where she can rage like a bigoted snot and nobody else has to deal with her XD;
- haha, good plan!
Anyone up for another one? at :45 or :00?
Possibly. :00 is more likely than :45 for me, but I've also gotta see about getting dinner and I'm not sure how long that's going to take. If you get another taker feel free to go without me ^^
@ crevannight - It's almost :00 any of you warring with me?
oops! Was off doing other things. I'd be up for another one maybe at :30?
- sounds good to me! 283 words, I'm improving! I'll break 300 one of these wars!
- 739 this time! I was actually at a spot I really wanted to write so that was helpful xD
- wow! Congrats! That's awesome! That's like how much I typically write in 3 word wars!
- I write faster than I think sometimes haha! Oh well. I keep telling myself not to look at what I write... I need to not be an editor while doing my rough draft or it'll never get done. That's been my downfall every other year.
Are either of you going to be around a bit longer tonight?
- it's definitely a hard habbit to get out of! I remember my first year of nano when I could just sit for an hour and punch out 2000 words. I've gotten progressively slower every year! haha. It's been harder in every other year too since I've got a continuing story, and I keep having to go back and look up facts, and names etc.
- I'll likely be around for the next two hours at least.
