The weather was so nice yesterday that I had to take a walk after work. I walked down past the Auburn Supermall, then stopped inside on the way back. I bought some stone marbles from the gemstone store, then made my way back to my car. By that point the sun had gone down (it was about 4:30) and the temperature was dropping very fast. This might be one of the last times I get to walk the Interurban trail this year, when it gets cold and wet I'd rather use the indoor treadmill at the apartment complex.

I was having trouble last night figuring out how to work my fight between Ranma and Kodachi. This morning it occurred to me that Kodachi would try to trick Ranma with some sort of sleep potion before the fight even begins, and it might be funny if Ranma doesn't expect it and gets caught... in which case I could have someone else step in to fight for her.

That opened up so many different possibilities and scenes that I had no trouble writing 1,500 words just this morning. That's my quota for the day; everything I do for the rest of the day is helping me catch up to where I'm supposed to be on the month.

NaNoWriMo Update, Day 18

Bleah. After writing nearly 2,000 words today on my breaks at work, I was really hoping to get a lot more done once I got home... but mostly I spent time fleshing out hasty scenes and editing and cleaning up Chapter 19. I've been staying up so late that by 9:30 PM I was already feeling very tired... so...

For today, Tuesday 11/18/08, (Day 18) I'm supposed to have about 30,000 words written. By my count I actually have 23,500 words. That's about 3,500 words written today, same as I managed to write yesterday. That leaves me still 6,500 words off my pace, but that number is shrinking day by day....

Chapter 19 is almost done. The big Saturday fight is nearly over... well, there's probably still 1,000 to 2,000 words to go on it. It's a very big chapter.

Two volumes of Ouran High School Host Club arrived today... volumes 10 and 11. I read most of 10. :P

Also volumes 5,6,7, and 8 of Click arrived today. I ordered those weeks ago....
