The NaNo Report: Day Twenty-One

I’m on 4thewords. Last December I bought a years subscription with one of their bundles. In all honesty because this year has been a dumpster fire I haven’t used it that much. However, this month I’ve been all over it 🙂 For NaNo they are doing a tournament (Clouds vs. Dawn vs. Tempest) and anyway the final match between Dawn and Tempest was due to start at 6pm UK time today. As I’m #TeamTempest I wanted to get my remaining Tempest monsters for the quests beaten before that.

Good motivation, wrote more than I probably would have otherwise. It wasn’t really on what I thought it would be though… I mean I started off with James, he checked in with Nikola to see how the Lazarus cure was going, then he checked in with Henry to see how the cyber worm for attacking the Cabal was going – this was all plot stuff, fully intended. I mean I said yesterday I wasn’t quite sure how to get this plot stuff going.

But then James went to Helen’s office and declared his love for her. I mean he’d decided he would do that when he couldn’t sleep in an earlier scene but still – timing man! I wasn’t expecting him to do it then and hey neither was Helen. She needed a scene to have a panic about it. On the other hand I’ve now resolved how I’m going to get them to go back to Praxis as Helen is going to talk with John, and he’s going to tell her everything, and so she’s going to say they have to go back (well right after they’ve dealt with the Cabal).

Feels like the downward slope now. It’s starting to come together. Tomorrow’s going to be hella disruptive (plus it’s sunday) or I’d speculate on making the 50k. Definitely Monday though I think and definitely on track to finish the story by the end of the month. Wow. I really did not think I was going to be able to say that!
