NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 22: THE WIN!

In this video I talk about winning NaNoWriMo by reaching 50k words.

I also show you the winner page with all the goodies and so you can see what happens when you win.

At first the damn NaNoWriMo word eating monster of hell actually eat my words like 247 words less than on my writing software so I had to add a few more to get the win.

In this video you'll see the fail at validating my word count the first time and the final win.

Enjoy!

NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 9 (8) Catch up and Mini Centaur

I did a lot of writing today. I managed to catch up the words I didn't write on day 8. I don't know what happened on day 8 really. I was just in front of my PC and I couldn't write any sentence that make sense.

So today I got almost 5k words which is what I needed to be on time for my own schedule.

I also made a video for my other channel with the last doll box I had to open.

You can see that here.

Then I made a little centaur custom. I had it forever and I finally decided it was time to make it. I had quite a bit of problem on the face but after three tries it's not that bad.

NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 7: On Brainstorming and Write or Die (with video)

Today I had a very slow start so I decided to use one of my little tricks to get those words done.

I opened Write or Die and Wrote like a maniac because I didn't want to die. ;)

Write or die is an online page where you have to write or consequences. You can chose your amount of words and time for free or you can pay for the upgraded version. Personally, I use the free version, it totally does the work of tricking me into writing a lot of words really fast.

You can check it out and try for yourself here: http://writeordie.com/

Today I also talked with a friend and sort of brainstorm her story and it made me think about brainstorming for writer in general as I see it happen a lot in writing groups. I like to brainstorm for other but I would totally hate to have someone infusing ideas in my stories so in this video, I explain why.

NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 4: I went to Doll & Toy

Today's writing was on the low side. 112 words that's ridiculous but at the same time. Every little words count and 112 words is always better than zero.

I went to a doll event (I do those a lot) in Saitama. It was my first time actually getting out of the train at Omiya station.

I have a coverage of the event here if you want to have a look.

It was small but a lot of fun, especially the seeing a doll created in front of me part.

I'm still on schedule for the "normal" NaNoWriMo but now I'm 502 words behind for my own special "2500 words a day" schedule. Hopefully, I'll deal with that soon and get back on track.

NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 2: She looked like an angry pufferfish

Of course I have been writing today. I managed to reach 5452 words. That cover the 5000 words I should reach on day 2 and the 2500 daily words and gives me about 100 extra. 

I really wanted to push a bit more but I had no time after dinner. I still have half of my blog to work through. I really wish I could work when someone else is in the room, that would help a lot because as soon as Ikki comes home I can't do anything anymore except maybe read and crochet. 

So yeah no video filming and no writing after dinner unless he goes to bed before me. I need to find a way to schedule things so that I'm not so frustrated with being unable to work when he is around.

NaNoWriMo Vlog Day 1

Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo and I totally skipped on the midnight party kick start. I would probably have done it if I was still in Belfast but I actually don't know anybody to NaNo chat at midnight Japanese time since we are the first starting sort of. 

So I decided to have a before breakfast write instead and it worked really well. I'm at 2873 words already which is 373 words more than my normal 2500 words schedule. And yes, I know you only need 1667 a day to win NaNoWriMo but I have a different plan that actually proved to work for me. I also got very limited dolls delivered today.
