#NaNoWriMo 2015 – Day 13

I’m so close to that 50k. I can almost taste it now. I’m practically salivating at the thought of hitting that mark. It always makes me feel so good!

But I’m tired now and I’ve done a good wedge of work today. It would be a shame to keep rushing in and writing dross when there’s no need to rush.

But I’m picking up speed again now. I’ve got the back end of my antagonist and pseudo-antagonist (yes, it is a word!) sorted it out and the big reveal has been and gone. Michelle has had the rug swept out from under her (to use at terrible cliché) and is now at the point that she must make some drastic decisions about what comes next. And of course, the decision she makes will make things (much) worse in preparation for the major show down which begins the last act of the story.

Mwa h ah aha ha ha hah ah ha hahahaaa!

I’ve hit that point of the first draft where I love every word and I’m mega excited about what’s to follow. ^_^

Though . . . it does make me wonder when I’ll hit that slump and start hating everything again.

About Ileandra Young

I'm a thirty-*mumbles* year old (purple loving, cheese worshipping) author of fantasy, juggling a pair of beautiful twin boys with my burning desire to make up stories and write them all down. When I get the chance, I play games, listen to music, and in days long past I even ran a radio show. Though I occasionally write non-fiction, my heart lives in fantasy and my debut novel, Silk Over Razor Blades is now available through Amazon along with part two of the trilogy, Walking The Razor's Edge.

Wow. Great progress. I’m writing loads of words, but I seem to be failing to move the action onwards.

  Drop a bomb on them. 😉
  That’s the advice from some of the NaNo coaches.

    Ooh, that’s spooky. Just read this. And currently my protagonist is handcuffed to a companion with a bomb strapped to his chest. The last sentence I’ve written, ‘In the silence she could hear the ticking.’

      Haha, it’s perfect. What is it about us writerly types and bombs/crashes/explosions and car chases? Anyone might think we enjoy the drama. 😉
