NaNoWriMo Update, Day 24
Nov. 24th, 2008 09:41 pmBy today I'm supposed to have 40,000 words written.
I have, according to Open Office, 39,000 words written.
I could probably stay up and write another 1,000 words to try and catch up, but right now I'm in kind of a weird spot in the story. I finished off chapter 21, and that takes me through the end of Sunday. I'm now past the point of all of my initial short-term "first week" plots. I want to skip ahead a week or two, but I have a few unresolved plot threads that I probably should try and clean up first. I'm not sure exactly how to tie those in to the other things I want to write to set up the next big plot, the "Genma kidnaps Ranma" plot. In short, I'm not sure exactly where I want to take this part of the story, so it's a bit harder to write.
But still, I'm pretty excited. I was having trouble at several other points too and I worked my way through them. If I get through this part, I can tie eveything I've written in the past to all of my "future" chapters that I wrote last year, and then everything I've written or plotted for Girl's School will be one complete story. One in need of editing, I'll admit, but still, you'll be able to read from beginning to end. That's cool. And it will be some 150,000 to 200,000 words long, making it the largest story of my life. Even Muyami Academy wasn't that long.
Ah, well. I should get to bed for now.
