And I just breached the 1,000-word mark just before 12 MN. 49,000 to go. Haha!
But seriously, those first 1,000 words are sooo not up to par. Well, I haven't done a lot of fiction before, and I'm attempting something grand this month: to finish a novel (that's right! check out www.nanowrimo.org because that's what wrimos like myself are up to for the whole month). I do intend to see this through, and work out what I need for my plot, which for the moment, is still nonexistent. I thought I was a bit prepared as November was approaching because I already had an idea about my milieu. But thinking it up, and then putting the ideas into words is really quite hard. I should've practiced more. And it's quite difficult to find time to use the PC because I'm back home for the All Saints' Day ritual and will be here for a week (I go back to QC on Saturday). And there's only one PC (which conked out tonight - hopefully it gets back up tomorrow) and my sister's laptop. And there are four of us kids here at home. I actually started with my writing tonight at 7 by longhand because the laptop was not free.
So I do need a netbook/laptop. And I'm extremely tempted to buy one (a netbook most probably - possibly the newest one from Asus) so that I could more effectively make use of my time and produce more quality text for the (quite ambitious) sci-fi story I'm cooking up.
