1,545 words for the night. #nanowrimo

One of the things I truly appreciate about TrackBear.app is the ability to select the date of the progress entered. I often only have the latest hours to write. Yes, it's technically tomorrow but this progress was for yesterday.

It's... calming?

Totes forget to post my update last night. Wrote about 1.3k words and promptly passed out. Back to writing tonight and hopefully a touch more sleep before work.

On track so far. Shouldn't need to crunch any weekends.

2,273 words for the day putting me at just over 15k now. #nanowrimo

What are some methods you use to help keep the voice of your character's correct?

I keep notes but more often I find myself second guessing their dialogs. I worry their voices will all blend together without distinction.

Day 7, 1,250 more words for the day. Puts the month's total at 13k. A little shy of par but I'm more than okay with that. A good night's rest and tomorrow will bring even more of the story to life.

A late night with work eating much of my day away. Still, progress continues. We're out of the introductions and scene setting and into a gory mystery!

Playing with splitting the narrative point of view between four main characters is proving to be fun.

The antagonist makes an appearance. Well, mentions of shadow and danger with something twisting the actions of the townsfolk anyway.

I just realized I started this adventure in a tavern. What a trope. What a great trope.

I have:

- four characters, all with animal names.
- a tavern keep's daughter
- an arrogant adjuticator of the peace
- threats from the shadows
- absolutely no idea where this is going

Things are looking pretty good for this month already!

Only day three and I already have a handful of [MOUNTAIN NAME], [NOTABLE EXTRA NAME], and [SOMETHING COOL SOUNDING] placeholders in my text. xD

Naming things is truly one of my weakest skills. Can't let it stop progress though.

A mouse, fox, badger, and wolf all meet in a tavern.

--

"I am known as Fox. What is your name?" Fox asked softly.

The woman held the glare for a moment before saying, "Monta Gynt, daughter of Alberts Gynt the owner of this house. What type of name is Fox?"

"A simple one," Fox said.

Where are you tracking your writing progress? I've been using Trackbear and find it a lovely app for the task.

It's writing month. I am excited to see where this story goes. Humorously, starting with a random phrase from stream.

"As the mouse arrives, the mists curling around its body, the prophecy fulfills itself."

1634 words down.

Breaking a writing drought feels good. #nanowrimo
