After a good week spent reattuning with my drawing desires and abilities—which is something I needed to do since long before November and NaNoWriMo, due to various reasons—I’ve gone back to finishing my first draft, and setting a final goal for it. I’ve decided on 75,000 words; it seems balanced enough for me to reach it, while not needing to focus so much on “writing fillers”, which I’ve never liked doing, even in the heart of NaNo. My problem very often being the contrary, I don’t think I need to worry much about running out of material. The daily amount I want to put in is 1,000 words, since in the frenzy of Christmas, I don’t want to eat more than I can chew. This will carry me to the end of the year without problem, I think.Thus the evolution of the WIP bar in the sidebar of this blog. I’ve also settled on the title for the moment, but evidently, if by the end I find one that sounds better, I once again won’t hesitate to change it. If I follow my plan, I still have three scenes to write, including two action-filled ones, which still frighten me a little (I must confess that, as much as I’m at ease with dialogue these days, I’m still unsure of how to properly write fight scenes). After this, I’ll be back to deciding on a final plan for The Second Continent, and get this trilogy going the right way.Wish me luck and commitment, please… I’ll need both * smiles *NaNoWriMo, novel, writing
