NaNoWriMo challenge : second day

This is the second day of my NaNoWrimo challenge. Today I had the surprise to find out that a NaNoWriMo meeting was being hold in Belfast tonight and I went to it.
It was pretty good, we wrote more, exchanged ideas, talk about our stories and met with people who already participate or even won NaNoWriMo several times.
I had a lot of fun.

So were am I in the challenge today ?
2742 words more written which had up to a total of 5459 word in two days. That's a bit more than planed and I hope to keep it that way all along.

And of course here is what everybody has been waiting for, what happens next in the story.

NaNoWriMo challenge : First day

This is the first part of the Novel I'm writing for the NaNoWriMo challenge.
Don't forget that this is a first draft so it hasn't been edited and may content some grammar and spelling mistakes. Remember also that it's my first participation to NaNoWriMo and my first time writing a full novel so be nice.

To get my challenge completed I will need to write at least 2500 words a day until the 20th of November.

Today I wrote 2717 words in almost 3 hours, I think. So the challenge of the day is won.
I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

NaNoWriMo Challenge

This November, I'm officially participating to NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. The goal of this is to write at least 50000 words of a Novel starting on November the 1st until November 31 midnight.
Once you have your 50000 words, and that they are counted you are officially a NaNoWrimo winner.
For more information see the official web site http://www.nanowrimo.org/
Don't hesitate to join, it's free and you won't loose anything by trying, at the contrary.

That is going to be even more challenging for me as I will need to complete the task before the 21st of November.
So everyday in November I will upload for you my word count of the day, my total word count, the number of hours writing (if I can keep track of it, I'm not very good at that) and of course the part of the story written so that you can follow the story while I write it.
Don't except anything big, this is my first time ever participating to this challenge and I have never written a complete story before. I will just try to do my best and keep you entertained during November.

I'm a doctor

En français
So that's it, I finally finished my studies. Yesterday I had my VIVA (last exam of the PhD study for people who don't know what that is) and I passed with few corrections to make to my manuscript.
I'm now doctor in physics, don't come to see me if you're sick, I can't do anything about it.
You can see that the title of the thesis is "Inner-shell processes in two-photon ionisation of ions by VUV laser light"

So here is the PhD in numbers :

_ 3 years of hard work
_ 2 papers published out of my work
_ 2 more should be publish in the next few months
_ 5 posters
_ 9 conferences attended (3 talks)
_ 161 pages of thesis
_ 2 hours and 10 minutes of questioning (VIVA)
_ and lots of friends made on the way.
