GothNo 2011 is off to a good start!

Two days in and I'm on track for my 20K wordcount.

I finished the first scene tonight. I've no idea what to write tomorrow night.

Which is why I'm going to spend some time tomorrow before I write going through Susan Bischoff's Blueprint and her blog posts that relate to it (the link will take you to a list of all the relevant posts and clicking on older posts at the bottom of the screen will take you to the second page. The posts are in reverse chronological order). Her blueprint is based on Larry Brooks's story structure and also incorporates some other tools and techniques that are part of the writing craft.

1479 words. 7.4% of my wordcount goal achieved. Momentum Writer is the software I'm using this year and it's great. No formatting and no erasing AT ALL if you set the user preferences that way. Last night there were typos, tonight I allowed myself to use the backspace key by setting it up that way in the preferences. It'll make for a cleaner copy at the end of the month, but it's minimal erasing I do anyway.

It's 11.13pm, I'm WRECKED (too many nights of interrupted sleep to my name) and it's high time I took myself off to bed before I waffle on any more! :)
