Choices and Chances - weekly w-count - week 4 and some meta
Firstly the weekly w-count, that is lame this week. Only 4174, but overall I’m still ahead of the goal (which after four weeks is 21000) with 21212. Lovely number, but as you can see my “ahead” is just-just.
Now, two quotes of ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
martyn44 , because they seem to fit together in one general meta.
“People like to read about people, at least some of whom they can empathise with” by David Gemmill,
and “I try to create sympathy for my characters, them turn the monsters loose” by Stephen King
And though I think Stephen King meant the outer monsters, I’ll talk about the inner ones.

Choices and Chances weekly word count - week 3
Didn't post last weekend, because I was away, and during the week had very little time anyway. But last week's w-count was quite good - 5587. This week is even better ( there must be some mistake! no there's not! ) - 8895! WOW! That brings me to total 17038. Just a few more words and I'll have the average 1K words per day. That would be something, heh. Oh, it's good as it is. :)

My weekly goal this round is no less than 3000 words. No over-exerting dear self this time. And in the very first week I'm already behind - 2556 - heh. But to be honest the week started on Tuesday (April 1st), and I'm going to be counting at the end of the weekend (Sunday), so this week was one day shorter. It's okay, then.

Shame. But I took a day off yesterday. Planned to do that from Sunday, because I’m starting to feel overloaded. Then I got -- um -- distracted further by this and by that, but I think I wouldn’t convince myself to write anyway, because I had a pile up at work on top of that. And I am overloaded with this story. Maybe I should take a break and write something else for a while? I think I’ll stick with this project till the end of the![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
novel_in_90round, though. Only four weeks left.
Anyway. I am now at:
46705 / 100000 words. 47% done!
In:
63 / 120 days. 53% gone!
What gives - I should be writing 930 words daily.
Plotwise... Not even going to say it.

2605
Oh, and btw, I’m really posting these weeklies for my own reference later, but it’s lovely that you comment on them f-list, makes me feel important somehow. THANK YOU! :*
And eta: I’ve just read a very nice comment on my story and got a new shiny nick-name for my character, so now I’m a little better. Thank you
suffolkgirl. Also, I think I finally started to *get* the readers. There are two readers, actually (*wink-wink, girls*), so who knows, maybe I only get a specific kind of readers, but their reactions are exactly how I expect them, so that’s lovely. 28 January 2008 @ 03:34 pm

Okay, I’m admitting this, I’m gonna finish this draft at the end of April, there’s no other way. But I can’t allow myself any leeway any more. Hmmm...

Bad. 13064
13064 / 100000 words. 13% done!
14 / 90 days. 16% passed!
Also:
1 / 10 chapters. 10% done!
However I count it, I'm behind with regards to time. Unless I admit I'm going to finish this in April.
14 / 120 days. 12% passed!
Doesn't look so bad then. But I didn't think I'd have to admit to that in only second week.
I'm having trouble, because this is, like, seventh draft really, so I want it to be not-all-crap. I'm trying to write it well, think too much, don't let the words flow, and end up writing nothing. Today was a total disaster. Gotta try harder tomorrow then. Here's to tomorrows!

Need to post this for self for future reference. Re-posted from
novel_in_90
Will be cheating now: 9069
9069 / 100000 words. 9% done!
I'm cheating, because I started mid-December, but the progress is a progress...
7 / 90 days. 8% passed!
9% prevails over 8%, so I'm still ahead, though not much. :(
On the other hand I've always though I'll finish this at the end of April, not March. But for now I'll believe I can do it within the Ni90 round.

Weekend Word Count - YAY!
This didn't happen to me in the previous round of Ni90. Weekend was always a time off writing, what I deeply regretted. But this time, both on Saturday and Sunady I got up an hour earlier than the rest of the family and guess what? An hour is enough! 753 on Saturday and 788 on Sunday. Today morning only 389 (but the day is not over yet, although with those two monsters running about it's hardly possible to finish this note!), despite it being my day off work as well. But I've taken it off, because this is kids' first day at school and daycare, and I needed to wake them up earlier than during the weekend.
Oh, whatever!
The weekend was fruitful. I nearly finished the draft for chapter five, and had an idea... That I should write this chapter as a separate short story. Who knows? Perhaps I will.

Didn't manage to post yeaterday, but it was 455. And today 416. Someone might say it's consistent, heh.
My group won the clash with the magicians and their guard, though Lanard refused to kill the handsome, dangerous and actually dumb magician. And pissed off Karanach. Again. Then in the next chapter Morgan and Amos are remembering the moments they spent at the Waterfalls together. When she woke up, but not quite, and she didn't remember Ijana was missing. And she only noticed she was in Morgan's arms. And Amos is quite horny for a girl, so you know... Morgan isn't not-horny either, so together they were quite a handful for Tay, especially with Morgan's broken ribs. Anyway.
In the current chapter aside from remembering good ole times from several day ago, they also come across a burned and destroyed village. And that will be scary.
Done.

I reached the point where I don't have the "draft of draft" version of the story. I only have vague ideas written in points for the upcoming chapters. So I got stuck, and there's no way I can successfully move on with the actual draft. So I decided to write a draft of draft now, which might also be called an extended version of ideas.
So basically I'm almost done with chapter four, Lanard and Wolf are found, Ijana learns that she has some magical abilities, though she considers this idea dumb. And I figured out that the dangerous and handsom magician is actually dumb as his ideas, and he'll be told that by his coleague. Ijana gets in "tele-empathical" contact with Wolf, and once the two magis find Echanon and other warriors, and Echanon stops worrying about them, they can finally start saving Ijana. What will make Amos very happy. If they are successfull of course. The battle come tomorrow.
Oh, words! 765, YAY!!!

Word Cound and other complaints
I'm not even going to get into the crazyness that's happening in my hometown right now, but I'll just say that - as a Town's Hall worker - I was supposed to stay at work till 7pm today. Crazy. Fortunatelly it turned out I was relieved to go home at 3, which is even earlir than usual, and kids were with grandma till the evening, so...
I made around 300 words. ONLY!!! *banghead*
And they weren't on my main WiP either, but on that other story, that is (wow) in English. And is rather untitled as of yet. Anyway I figured out the crew of a space ship of the recon squadron (that is rather nameless as well, but something with Virginia should be the name), on which Nathan Hadar is going to serve. Nathan Hadar has a name which is weird, isn't it? Or rather two names as his real one is Ilan Tehila Gal, but he wouldn't want his comrades and superiors to know that. For the reasons I won't get into right now.
Goodnight.

Didn't even have the time to post yesterday, but it was lame. 303, barely.
Today not much better, but better still. 489.
The group had finally decided to go off in search of it's lost members, but Amos - exhausted with worry - fell asleep. Echanon gladly left her behind in caring arms of Morgan, who couldn't go into a fight due to his injury, and Tay, who is not into fight in general.
Meanwhile Ijana woke up in a tent, under warm wool covers, and in a company of a very handsom and very dangerous magician. After telling her she was not a magician, what she had known since she was born, he put her to sleep again. Bastard.

Vacation! and Word Count
I had a very busy day at work today, because I'm leaving for a few days (tomorrow is Polish off day :) and wanted to close a few things. Closed only four out of five, but also managed 243 words which is not bad, considering.
And these were fruity words, because Echanon managed to re-think his actions leading to Wolf's dismisal and his subsequent disappearance at the hands of the enemy magicians; Lehtar managed to be constructively critical, and Karanach managed to be unconstructively critical; Morgan managed to throw a stick at Karanach; and Amos got realy pissed off that nobody cares about her sister.
Next installment probably next Tuesday, unless I manage to get access to internet in that wilderness at my in-laws, where I'm gonna be over the weeked.
Gotta make myself mory "happy icons" since I'm now posting more than those gloomy fanfic. :)

772. Doesn't seem bad, but the actual new words were not more than 500, so it's mock-worthy, since it's LESS than 750.
What happened? Morgan still complained, then Elin and Lehtar found the Waterfalls, then Karanach with the band-leader Echanon got there too, and then Morgan with Tay and Amos joined them. Also Mati was found, only I changed his name to Maqi. Equally stupid, but less. Now Echanon, ridden with guilt, will organize a party to save Ijana and the two magicians: Wolf and Lanard, though about two thousand words ago he threw Wolf out of the team. And that's the whole team, by the way. Amos is panicked.
