Continuing writing

So I'm still working on my NaNo novel. I'm about 30,000 words from being done. At least I think I'm about 30,000 words from being done with my first draft. I don't think that I said that I was working on a book out of order. I have a five novel series that I want to work on but I'm working on the third book first instead in order. I really liked the two main character's they are fun to write. So I'm working to being done with them for now. Then I don't know what I will work on next. I'm torn between the other Flare novels or a separate fantasy novel that I think is going to be really funny. Well I need to finish with Maddox and Rilia before anything else. Wish me luck. I'm told that the hard part is done but I think that this last 30,000 words are going to be killer.

NaNoWriMo this year


NaNoWriMo is this year is going to be interesting. I am hoping to get my first draft of a sword-and-sorcery series done. NaNo is normally just 50,000 words to win but I am going to be aiming for 100,000. So I will have to type twice is much for my personal win. The reason for that is I think that it is going to take about 100,000 words to tell the story. I am at a good start because I have done character worksheets for my two main character's but I need to finish the sheets for the villain and one of the main side character's who may turn into a main character. He's a fishy one. If I can get this written it is going to be the first in a five book story about on event. The event is big in the world and I have five different sets of character's that are trying to deal with it. I like them all but I think that I can get Maddox and Rilia's story out a little better. I have played with these character's myself and with my spouse. He is good with helping me when I get stuck on part of characterization and understands my personal language of screams, grunts, and other really non-verbal skills. I'm really good at the non-verbal stuff.
Edit: I meant to post this last week but it didn't happen. I am 16,011 words into my novel. I have so far done my daily word count of 4,000 per day and I'm hoping that I can make it!
