*playing Diablo III*

*continues playing Diablo III*
(but seriously, I have written 500 words today and I’m going to go write a little bit more before I do actually go back to playing Diablo III)

(but seriously, I have written 500 words today and I’m going to go write a little bit more before I do actually go back to playing Diablo III)

So this is what I was doing most of the day yesterday instead of writing…. playing Diablo III. *nods* I even beat Diablo in normal mode yesterday, wheee. Though I think I’m not going to allow myself to play any more in till I get at least half of my word quota for today.
hmmm, speaking of writing, I should probably go do some of that…..

Daily Report Day 2
Current Word Count:  4,083
Words Written Today: 2,068
So it seems that I over estimated the amount of words I would get for today in my outline, so I ended up working on stuff that I had planned on writing tomorrow, opps. Well, it shouldn’t mess things up much since I just use my outline as a sort of guide, but not something I need to stick to 100%. It’s more fun that way ^_^
What happened today:
picking up from where we left off at, Alicia is following a butterfly down a dark alley to take it’s photo of it. and as we all know, walking down dark alleyways is just asking for trouble
Alicia runs into a group of boys that aren’t up to any good before running further into the alley
in short, after a lot of chasing Alicia is cornered by the ‘bad guys’ before Lilly appears out of no where and smacks the guy over the head with her Traveling Shovel of Death. (did I mention that’s her weapon of choice?)
After some talking Alicia decides that she had completely lost her mind and that Lilly was a hallucination
Alicia goes home and Lilly follows her. After her mother confirms that Lilly is real they go to her room to talk about the whole ‘magical girl’ thing
and that’s it for the ‘how they met in the past’ chapter. At least the TSoD made it’s appearance today ^_^

Inspired by the Obsessive Word Count Zip Codes thread, I’ve decided that I’m going to post a bit of info about each ‘location’ I end up at everyday.

Today’s word count is 2,015, though the closest zip code I could find was 02019. Well, close enough I guess…

Bellingham is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 16,332 at the 2010 census. The town sits on the southwestern fringe of Metropolitan Boston, along the rapidly growing “outer belt” that is Route 495.

Daily Report Day 1
Current Word Count:  2,015

Yay, I got to my 2k word quota for today! ^_^Not a whole lot happened though, since it’s just the beginning and it’s mostly character/setting introduction. But at least writing is going well and my outline is helping out a lot with that. I mean, I did change a few things from what was written in the outline, but it still gives me an idea of what direction I’m going with all of this. and hopefully since I’ve split it up into 200 word chunks I hopefully wont get burnt out like I always do.
What happened today:
Alica has a nightmare about how her parents died
Wakes up with Lilly in her bed, apparently she’s been sneaking into her bed a lot because she knows that Alicia has been having really bad nightmares lately.
Alica thinks about how she is adopted and how Lilly isn’t her sister by blood, but they are very close regardless
After Lilly leaves the room to get breakfast, Alica thinks about when she first met Lilly a year ago.
It starts off with her receiving a camera in the mail and going out to the park to take photos.
Alicia spots a butterfly and chases after it down a dark alley
and that’s where I’m at currently. I should probably try to make the flash back shorter…. but eh.

The photo I did for today’s 366 photo project was Camp NaNoWriMo related, so I wanted to post it here too ^_^
and speaking of Camp NaNoWriMo, I’m actually almost at my word quota. Though I will probably end up writing more since I always like getting a bit of a head start on the first day ^_^
