Thanks Syren. 🙂
I broke 10K today. Not sure where I'm at right now...probably close to 11. That should make me happier than I feel, because I don't think I have 50K worth of material on my characters at this point. I'll probably struggle to hit 30 unless I think of where I'm headed (I have a bunch of wonderful incidents right now, but nothing resembling a central plot).
And I might actually still be on pace (it's only the 7th). But that will change soon.
I finally finished the Prologue to my adaptaion of the matrix RPG 😄
Originally it was going to be Marduk at the end, but then I thought that as he had recieved vital intel he would probably be stuck in meetings with the council until we all met up in the briefing room, so I changed it to San, the only person Cloud really knew from the first mission, who would come to check up on him.

I'm only an 'Also Starring'?
Gutted. 😛
It's good, though.

This time I decided to do it as Combat/Philo, as last time I didn't mention any of the philo's story, and from the "coincidental" looks of things we're getting split from the off. Otherwise you would be a main character, and all the new guys would have been also starrings.
your alive! your alive! i thought you might have died, but now my worried mind is at ease. im so mad at you!
you probably dont recognize me......

Ah, good to know I deserve pride of place. I'll count that as a moral victory, then.
Hate to let the faithful down (not really, since it's justified) but I've put aside the novel temporarily.
I'm at about 11K. But life is a b*tch and a half right now. And I also didn't know quite where the story was headed. I feel like there's a lot of potential, but I'm going to wait until I have some direction. Spontinaity is good too, but it doesn't help to not know what I'm writing 500 words into the future.

Heh, I barely know what I'm going to write 5 words ahead of where I am...and I'm at 16k right now (wrote hardly anything last two days). I seem to write better when I've got no plans.
I at least need a plan....I deviate from it lots, but I can't just wing it.
And right now I have some cool short-story-type chapters that involve the same characters. But so far I don't know what my main plot will be, and I have to get into it soon or I'll lose the narrative momentum.
I find that if I have a plan, I feel like I HAVE to stick to it, and then feel bad about letting it deviate.
My novel is actually a number of subplots that together make up the same plot. Unfortunately writing the parts that string together the subplots is boring and largely pointless yet need to be done. I find those parts I tend to have trouble with getting done quickly. But I have started the subplot that will eventually lead to the end of the novel.
And I reached 20k this morning. Should be halfway on word count this weekend. The story itself though could go on forever...heh.
