NaNoWriMo 2010: Day 7

Whew! Thanks to wordwars with microgirl8225, mingsmommy, kyrdwyn, cuspofqueens, and severity_softly, I was able to add a LOT of words tonight. I'm back above where I need to be to get my 50,000 in. I've been using 75k as my target, but if I went with 50k my graph would look more like this:



Yesterday I did do a lot of character/plot work via the Plotting a Novel in One Hour exercise, and I figured out the connection between the crimes and the big issue Chloe is facing, so that's awesome. Hopefully everything I've got so far makes sense, even if I have to do a lot of editing later. :D

I have no idea how the pantsers manage. If I haven't worked out in advance what I want to achieve each day I just sit and stare at the keyboard. Planning is good.

For whatever reason, I have to fuss around at the computer for hours before I settle in to write, whether I have planned what I'm supposed to write or not. *sigh* I don't know why I can't settle down to write, but I spent an hour looking at pictures just now. >.
