2YN-ing

Been working on my 2YN. (Makes me think of Y2K. heh) The latest assignment is about goals and conflict. I've come up with so much conflict - I think I have some of my subplots worked out because of it. Woohoo! My OWG would be proud of the rocks I've collected to throw at my main character.

I also reread part of my NaNo. Turns out, it has more potential than I thought. There are some really good scenes. A few sentences really dance on their own too. (Of course, those are usually the ones that end up being edited out...)

Refusing

I posted my first chapter ever on my OWG. It's amazing how nervous it can make you when you're waiting on someone else to give feedback on your work. It's also liberating. I'm stoked about moving forward with this part of my life.

I'm tired of making half-hearted goals. I want one that's a little more challenging, but engaging enough to keep me involved.

I had a major breakthrough the other night with my Work-in-Progress. I initially was disappointed with the chapter thinking it wasn't a good fit with the plot. So I brainstormed different ways the chapter could have gone. And it turns out, my best option ended up fitting my written chapter perfectly. It was awesome.

I'm also contemplating competing in NaNoWriMo. The forecast for November looks pretty busy regardless, but I'm hoping the added pressure will encourage me to perform on deadline. And I want the Web graphic. heh.

It's amazing how you need that push at times.
