State of the Blog: Week 16: Fully Functional and Operational Blog
Witness the writing power of my fully functional and operational....blog!! Mwahahahaha!
Ahem....
I finally managed to delete all the pictures and embedded videos after The Big Freak Out (waaay back in September). I can link to whatever I want, I think. But I can't upload content willy-nilly (not to be confused with Milli Vanilli...hehe).
Better to just not deal with the hassle and get to the writing.
I also added a link to my NaNo profile in the bar at the top of my blog (just below the title).
Despite the irregularity of my blogging in October, I still managed 15 posts. A post every other day. Not too bad. I am hoping to get back to daily posts.
My NaNo writing output has been...decent. I am a little off target. But still well within range to finish. I like the stats function, which allows me to better analyze my output in order to make adjustments and stay on track.
I started using Scrivener to help organize my chapters, ideas, etc. I have 19 free trial days left, which means I will have to buy it before the month is up. It's an excellent tool, so a good investment.
My story is too cerebral so far. Not enough description and dialogue. But I don't want to get bogged down in edits at this point. Better to just get it all out for now and revise to include more of that stuff later (after November).
But I have noticed I am paying more attention to what people say (and how), as well my surroundings in general--and how I might describe them. That's a pretty cool thing in itself. Writing increases awareness and mindfulness. Obvious observation, perhaps. But is if often the obvious, the things right in front of our faces, that can be the easiest to dismiss and ignore.
