NaNoWriMo - Write-in
Nov. 6th, 2012 09:43 pmNaNoWriMo brings the world's writers together in one frantic month of writing. When you sign up for the official website, you get some great tools at your disposal, including a word count meter, statistics of your average words per day, and a forum of local NaNoWriMo'ers.
(I like the term NaNo, so I immediately cut off half the word since it doesn't influence my word count anyway.)
The "local" forum includes people from all over the Netherlands and Belgium and I've been following a thread for Write-Ins in Den Bosch which actually took place in Tilburg. At 2.30 pm I packed my laptop in my Tuxie bag and walked to the center of town, combining a creative outing with some exercise and getting off my ever larger-growing butt.
I met up with Tamara, a 28-year old writer living quite close by and we braved the re-decorations of the local La Place, writing for more than an hour until the batteries of our laptops gave out.
We checked out the HEMA, which had all its power-up points hidden as well and decided to write a little more at her place just around the corner. By the time I went home (after nearly three hours of socialised writing) I had 4300 words under the belt for the entire day.
This puts me squarely back in the game, right on track for today and well underway to get a bit of a head start for the weekend, which I'll be spending at Legendfalls, meaning no writing for me.
What's going on? Someone's after Roland's research!
Anything special happening? Swashbuckling gentleman was promoted to friend of the family. I've also worked the cat thing out. And the chase scene happened all by itself.
What'll happen next? Lydia and Roland will go on a tour of the ship, which will allow me to go into detail as to what it is, exactly (oh dear). They trust Thomas the Swashbuckler Clarke to watch over the precious research, but will he be worthy of that trust?
( Noteworthy snippet )
First milestone reached; 10.000+ words and still going strong.
