It is gratifying that even something as half-cocked as this blog (which in my own 'talk' I have named WoWoWhi) can gather people who quite like following it, unless of course they do it only out of a sense of duty. But the thing is they could have avoided it and pretended it didn't exist.
Much as I do most of the time.
Anyhow, I have added more to my Nano total as the clock to the end of November's writing marathon begins to tick down. I feel happy to have made 60,000 or so words but as I tell people there is probably room for another chapter in there, at least. That I will do in my own time.
Stats may or may not be open to interpretation, but my writing tool of choice, Scrivener, tells me that my efforts would result in paperback book of 157 pages. A little slim, so more padding needed. I also –– at this late stage –– discovered Scrivener 2 has a random name generator. As there is at least one name in Iron Virgin I don't like much I may call on it to help me out.
Unless I do the old pulp writer's trick of walking round graveyards with a notebook looking for suitable names.
I always get stuck on names. Somehow all the minor characters are always fine, it's just the main ones that suffer.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you've won, though. Congratulations!
