First and Last Words: DONE!

First Line of Yesterday: “It was her. It had to have been her that did it.”

Last line of today: (from an interlude, as I went back and filled those in once I got to the end end end) – “I didn’t know anyone else cared about this…”

I wrote 3,405 words yesterday and 374 this morning, bringing the total first draft of Edally Academy: The Angry Aetherist to 60,656 words.

And now I can go work on the candy story!

First and Last Words: In Which I Fire Chekhov’s Weasel

Okay, this is funny:
First Line of Yesterday: Tairiekie jolted into consciousness as her head thumped against something again

Last line of yesterday: Tairiekie gave up the last hold on her consciousness.

I wrote 3824 words yesterday, bringing my total to 56,877 words. This thing is ending up running longer than estimates…

At this rate, I will be done yesterday 😉
Except I still have to finish the last chapter and insert interludes, so probably tomorrow.

Still Sick – First and Last days of Saturday-into-Sunday

First Line of Saturday: Tairiekie looked between the two of them. “You should be asleep. You both think I’m crazy for this.”

Last Line of Sunday: The pain was fading, and she had a feeling that wasn’t a good thing.

I wrote 2711 Words Saturday and 1750 words Sunday, bringing me to 53,053 words

That brings my average to 3120.8 words/day, and says I’ll get to 54K today (though I no longer think that will be the end of the novella; I think that’s going to be ~56K)

Sick day – First and Last lines of Thursday-into-Friday

First line of Thursday: Tairiekie thought about that. It shouldn’t have felt that complicated, but her mind felt as if it were stuffed with cotton. “That sounds… that makes sense. What are you doing?”

last Line of Last Night:
“-I found a spigot!” Enrie popped her head up from the rubbish bin. “I think this is what you wanted!”

I wrote 3,493 words Thursday and 2,089 words Friday, bringing my total to 48,592
(goal on this project is ~54,000; I’m on chapter 25 of approx. 30).

at that rate, I will finish… today. Or possibly tomorrow. An average of 3,239.5 words/day so far… but I’m sick, and just aiming to hit 50K today.

First and Last Lines of Yesterday

(Because I’m putting off starting writing this a.m.)

First: Enrie coughed. “Because Engineers are insane.”

Last: “I think every place is different. But you are from here, and so it does not seem strange to you, correct?”

I wrote 4,153 words,
bringing me to a total of 43,010 words
At this rate, I’m still finishing on the 16th, with a daily average of 3,308-and-a-half words

(you’d be surprised at the number of sprints I end on a half-word)

And now I sort of know how it’s ending!

Nanowrimo – First and Last Lines

First Line of Yesterday: “Ha. Yes, Enerenarie, Tairiekie is a very good student, and very clever, of course. But she is still, in the end, a first-year Pupil.”

(I know. But I was really tired)

3,808 words, bringing the total to 23,089

Nano Par for yesterday: 11,667. My Par: 14,000. My walking goal: 21,281
