NaNoWriMo

[julesjones]

As noted in previous years, I do PicoWrimo instead - com is here: http://picowrimo.livejournal.com

I'm going to be restricted in what I can do, because I've just had a bad flareup of the RSI and am completely dependent on Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Fortunately, I'd bought a brand-new laptop in July just as the latest edition of Dragon was released. I haven't had much chance to use it since then, so PicoWriMo is an excellent opportunity to get to grips with the new kit. The downside of this is that Dragon takes a lot of concentration to use, and I'm a bit fuzzy with pain and/or medication, so I may have trouble writing on some projects. I'm just going to target 150 words a day on *something*, and hope I have something usable at the end.

Today's update: Somewhere between 500 and 1000 words on assorted bits for a private commission -- which means no snippets. Mix of keyboard and Dragon, but definitely time to stop for the day.

Well done! Given how hard it is...

I hope the new version of Dragon cooperates. I'm sort of not really doing NaNo but I might be gently poking at a different story during November. The one I was gently poking has refused to wake up and cooperate so I thought I'd go back to the one I wrote 30K of during NaNo in 2009. I'm in two minds whether to set a pico-target of something like 100 words per day or just to see what (if anything) happens.
