From The Desk of Liz Ensley:

                I don't know if I'll manage to catch up with the word count, but it's still a good run, and I've so far written twice as much as I had, wither of the previous two months. A little over that, so the total's superior to the combined two.
                I'm still not fully awake. I would much rather go back to bed. Still, I'm going to try to get something written. I am still going to try catching up with the word count total.
                My current JulNoWriMo running tally is here on DeviantART, along with the total word count, and the separate writer's bible count. Where I'm starting today, with the previous word count, the scenes are going to overlap.
                Now, all I need to do, is to wake up... lol. I was in bed till almost 12:30. Didn't intend to stay in bed, asleep, for that long, but after the last week... bah. Except for being a bit tired, I'm so far faring a bit better.
                15,190 words to go, if I want to catch up with the 37,097 words that I am supposed to be at today. Let's see if it can be done. Total average of combined (minus one word for the eight remaining days, I think), is 3554 words per day.
                Wish me luck!

July Novel Writing Month, And The Week In Review

From The Desk of Liz Ensley:

                I signed up for JulNoWriMo a few days ago. I managed to catch my project up to the point where I could separate the story from the bible (*random cheering from the peanut gallery*), so I can keep the two separate. I will actually maintain word counts for both, because as I progress with the one, I shall also need the other to keep the story straight.
                I had started a picture of Daffodil in pencil, but the way it all came out, I am going to use it as the base for portraits of her, plus Dragan, plus Harald. Family members do tend to bear something of a resemblance, each to the other, so if I work with MS Paint on the base, to individualise each one, then voila!
I have also devised more ideas as to where to go with the first book. More specific ideas, at any rate, which is far better than the generalised ideas I had possessed towards the beginning.
                Of course, after the first book is written, I can start in right away on the second, and revise bits of the first as I go along as well. A trilogy always has three parts, and if I can complete the first revision of the first part, and the first draft of the second part simultaneously—well, let us just say that it is a Very Good Thing. I have read books that have ended up as parts of trilogies, and books in series that ended up confusing previous events a bit. If an event gets confuzzled in mine, then I would like the characters to do it. I dun'wanna, lol.

                That leaves one humongous question left to answer. Starting tomorrow, do I want to write 1667 words per day (approximate), or do I want to write 2500 words per day, five days per week, with two days off per week, for good behavior? Xp

The grand total reflects what I did when I combined the two totls, as I did for the previuos two months. If I can get the main part of the sstory up to 20k before the start of JulNoWriMo, then I only have to worry about the one word count for a base, and leave the reference out of the tally.

Okay, I am all signed up for July Novel Writing Month, or JulNoWriMo. I don't know if I'll be able to hit the 50k, considering that I barely made the 10k per month for the past two months, but we shall see. The 50k will not finish my novel, of course, even if I manage that much, but we shall see,
