5k Day - May 2013

[image error] Photo Credit bloodylery. Today my writing buddy and friend Lois is hosting her first 5k writing day--with the blessing of Milli from Fear of Writing (and host of 10k writing days).

You are invited to join us .

My plan is to outline through lunch and write in 30 minute sessions until early afternoon.

I will check in here and on the official post. See you all in a bit.
Update #1 : I had an awesome session this morning. I worked on outlining my story (i.e., timeline, character sketches, preliminary research questions, etc.). I am estimating that my word count is about 2k. I don't have an exact count since I work much of my preliminary work in Excel.

I am going to take a break for an hour or so. My plan for this afternoon is to plot for about an hour or so then get some writing done.

I did not anticipate outlining this long but I believe it will serve my writing time well. I also had a major breakthrough with my story goal and conflict.

With that said...this morning was a SCORE!!!


Update #2: I need to let my brain rest. :) I am at 3349 words with my preliminary work. I roughly worked on plotting. I want to give myself a break. This means I plan to come back later tonight and revisiting the plot points I wrote.

Sidenote... It's amazing to me how you have one idea about what you believe a story will entail but after a few hours, days, weeks...it seems to be totally different. A good different. But different.

I am about to grab some yarn and crochet a bit to let the information marinate.
