Carson Beckett Challenges and Fun

[m&mnm317]

I hate it when that happens.

I got roughly 3300 words done on my NaNo piece. According to the website, I'll be finished around Nov. 14th if I keep up this daily regimen. Not sure I'll be able to, but you know how I write in chapters. That'll make it easy to keep up. I hope, anyway.

I'm sure you'll finish it with more than enough time to spare.

You sound like my husband.

He said, "Fifty-thousand words? You could do that in a week! Two if you're being lazy!"

Especially with how excited you are to get writing.

True.

I'm accustomed to being able to brainstorm something and then just start writing when I'm ready. I'm not used to having to take notes and put it all off until a set day. So I kind of feel like I've been storing up.

I know you're not super interested, but there are portions of the story where Carson has nightmares of his time in Michael's custody. Would you like to read the first one of those?

I'll beta them all if you want. I don't mind. That is, if you need me to.

It's totally up to you. It's just that I know angst isn't your thing. I can send the first chapter, and you can tell me if you're interested beyond the nightmares. Since those are going to be really whumpy.

Okay... Do you plan on waiting til it's all finished before posting or are you going to do like you did with TWS?

Depends on how long it turns out. I have enough chapters of TWS to post until roughly Nov 25. By then, I'll have a LOT of WIB stored up to post. I hope to make it a Thanksgiving/Christmas type story even though it starts mid-July. Lots of time-lapse at first. So, I'll have lots of chapters ready to post around Dec. 1 even if the story's not finished. But I won't post it while TWS is still posting. I don't think I could keep up with TWS and WIB posting while still writing WIB and trying to meet NaNo requirements.

Having a fantastic Tuesday. Of course, being able to write now is a great plus.

Congrats on the important interview.
