I conclude my NaNoWriMo with my final chapter. Do forgive the "speling and grammers mistakes," it adds to the "NaNoWriMo" feel of the story... Here's a (pretty long) excerpt... Rowena turned and faced him. Her eyes, filled with tears, glistened in the light of the setting sun. He walked up to her. "Ro..." But Rowena... Continue Reading →
Word Count Update
I've given up on quality; I've given up on making sense. That's why I'm not going to post any excerpt today. I'm bull-dozing my way through writer's block, and so inconherence rules the day for the past two days. I'll just update the word count: 20,029. 30,000 more to go, and so little time. God...

Book III: Chapter II: Dresden's Childhood
Okay, I haven't udpated for ages. Haven't written much, and have had many doubts as to the feasibility of actually writing 50,000 words. But I'll push through till the end, and if it doesn't happen, there's always next year. Current word count stands at 11,335. You may miss the story, but this chapter's a mini-story...

Chapter 4: The Apology
Ooh, weekend's come and gone, and I didn't write at all on Saturday! Falling back a little on the averages, but if I'm not wrong, the last week should be the one filled with the most activity, so I'm not too worried as yet.

Chapter 3: The Art of Rhetoric
Life seems to be getting harder. I don't know why, but although NaNoWriMo was supposed to be fun, it's giving me stress and pressure I haven't felt since I left the army. Especially now that I'm trying to do my website as well, this writing is quite labourous. In a way though, this difficulty is... Continue Reading →
