Every word you write is one. It's not a competition!

That's another 2700+ day. Getting a comfortable margin.
The story is starting to role. My FMC is about to start kicking ass and taking names. And making her escape is the road to making it to her love interests....
A fight, a storm, and a helicopter ride.
I love it when a plan comes together.

LSW They might as well have blindfolded her and put her in headphones.

In this case it was making sure everyone eats a decent meal and not gets killed. (Old CIA agents, you know.... caring men)

What better way was there to spend time than taking care of the people you cared about?

LSW As if the sky could give her the answers she was looking for.

Lynne J. Stone @lynnejstone.bsky.social · 8h

Present and accounted for!

Lost the plot with DLS (we went last week) In how much time is that? Like 90 (or 85 by now) minutes?

The age old dilemma:
My body says more sleep.
My brain says fix sleep schedule (which in the history of me has worked exactly zero times)

#NaNoWriMo day 1 done.
First 5k down.
Time for our #amwriting theme song, which might have an important message.

After figuring it out on my own for 25 yrs, I've just handed over the responsibility for the Christmas decorating over to my (stay at home) partner.

We'll see. (probably not, but hey, worth a try)

Lynne J. Stone @lynnejstone.bsky.social · 1d

Easy as apple pie.

Lynne J. Stone @lynnejstone.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you, oh great sprint master! See you tomorrow.
723 on that sprint, and you'll love my LSW.

She might not have had sex with another person for ages, she knew very well how to take care of business by herself.

Trust the story. Before you know it, it will grab the wheel.

Lynne J. Stone @lynnejstone.bsky.social · 1d

Still waiting for the wheels to start turning, so not loving it so much yet.
I'm sure once it starts rolling, the banter and the smut starts I'll love it a whole lot more.
Getting there, I'm sure.

I wrote the first 2k just after midnight, before going to bed... So technically it was today, but not really.

400 is doable.

Reality had proven them not to be trustworthy though.

Think I'll end this scene in the next sprint and then I'll be out for the night... Written nearly 4500 so far today.

No distractions is good. I'm jealous.
Lounging on my couch with my laptop. As usual.
Just this year I have my partner sitting across from me, trying to distract me with cat vids.

Mostly, for Nano, I have some kind of outline. This time I have maybe two scenes and a dress, or something like that.
Blame work and an out of work partner.

LSW Knowledge was power, of course, but also made one vulnerable.

I don't have any plan for this story. So I'm currently just writing through the muddle until it starts making sense.
That's what rewriting and editing is for...

Yes, I am. THough the 'he' is not the MMC. They're (yes THEY) are not in the pic yet.
