I'm charting my daily progress on
NaNoWriMo. Since you may or may not care, I'll kindly hide it behind
a cut. Thanks for taking the time. :)
| NaNoWriMo Progress: These Are the Dreams that Keep Sleep from Me |
| Actual | Required |
| Progress |  |  |
| New Words Today | 4374 | 1667 |
| Daily Average | 4904 | 1667 |
Remaining Req'd Daily Avg | 976 | 1667 |
| Expected Total | 100000 | 50000 |
Notes:- Had another busy & long day at work and didn't write as many words as I would like to have.
- "R Is for Ritual Performed as a Test" is not quite complete at 4330 words, but it will be complete in another 500 or less, I believe.
- Used many suggestions I got from my Facebook friends for the story. :)
- Character names: Rodney, the obsessed magician wannabe who deciphers and performs the ritual; Rick, his friend.
- Interesting things I had to look up: Mozart's Requiem, famous unsolved ciphers, medieval underwear.
- Genre: I am pretty much not sure. It's not horror, it's sort of fantasy . . . maybe slightly Urban Fantasy. Slightly.
This table shows each story and how many words I have written on it, regardless of the daily count. Titles or letters in red ("tomato") are ones where I'm not sure, yet, what the story will be.
