HaAsInNoWriMo update!
Just a quick post to bring everyone up to speed on my Half-Assed International Novel Writing Month activities!

The 1000 words per day pace continues, although more and more I find myself writing in fits and starts, rather than hitting every day. I'm getting more likely to coast for two days, and then write 3000 words in a mad flurry... especially if it's Thursday and Friday I'm skipping.

Many of my distractions are falling away, as I've finished Half-Life 2, and also totally dominated Assassin's Creed (except for that ONE flag in Damascus somewhere.. grr...), and I watched the last episode of The Tudors recently.

So, I am no longer suffering from being unsure where the story is going. I have enough characters and enough steam and enough interesting ideas for scenes that I shouldn't have any trouble at all finishing the tale. What I am suffering with, however, is a constant concern with how interesting my scenes are. I have a tendency to over-describe, and I find myself wondering if my characters are doing too many uninteresting things. I'm also suffering from the fact that I know for damn certain that this story is going to be too long for one month's writing. Given the current state of the plot and my current word count, I would say I will need to at least triple what I've got to wrap everything up. My other current problem is that I now have a large enough body of story to have to worry about continuity: I often have to dig back through the pages and try to find certain facts because I can't remember if I've shared them or not.

Alright, well, there you have it.
