So, I thought that in addition to generic writing rambles, I'd also attempt to do a short post every few days for Camp NaNoWriMo this month. Here goes.
Day 1 has gone fairly well. It got off to a bit of a dodgy start though. I had intended to start writing at midnight, but having a full time job has skewed my body clock from what it used to be (go to sleep at 1am, still wake up in time for 9am lectures) and my brain just wouldn't function.
And then I thought I'd get up a bit earlier than normal before work and rattle off a few hundred words. Yeah, right - I love my bed too much. So that didn't happen.
Normally I write in my lunch breaks, but today's was taken up with more important things (read: feeding my mum's dogs). So that didn't happen either.
Finally, I got a chance to write this evening after work (and the staff quiz, which my team won). Settled down with the laptop, my map and a scratty list of place name elements. Rattled off a paragraph or two and promptly got interrupted by a puppy wanting a cuddle. I have an inability to say no to my mum's dogs, so I got sidetracked for a few minutes having hugs.
Fortunately, he soon lost interest and I've actually managed to write over 2000 words today. I'm only targeting 1600 words a day anyway for Camp NaNoWriMo, so it's a good start. Hurray!
I am totally not now watching a documentary about the battle of Bannockburn and claiming it as research into convincing battle sequences. Not at all.
