Since I'm writing Erotica for my NaNoWriMo novel, I've been doing, ah research, lets call it. Anyway, I've just found this link to some award-winingly bad erotica. You HAVE been warned!

I wrote just shy of 5000 words today. That's the kind of output I'll need to catch up the time I've lost so far. Right now I'm about 5500 words behind where I should be at this point. That's not doing too bad considering I lost most of the first week due to computer problems.

What I need now though is to get past the introduction. I've only managed to place one of the main characters so far. Even so, I'm rather happy about how one of the side-characters turned out. She even managed to develop a distinct personality of her own before I killed her off just now.

Anybody?

Is nothing going on today? It looks like I'll actually be in town for a change...

Couldn't find anyone who wanted to do stuff downtown today, and [livejournal.com profile] taxlady was having trouble getting her stuff together, so we postponed it for another day. Instead I sat down and wrote 4381 words today. I've finally managed to get to the end of the second chapter and have killed off the main hero, his new girlfriend, and all of the aliens. From here on it should be a lot more fun, and far less filling-in of the background. I'm beginning to fear that this writing thing may be addictive though. Every time I take a break I find myself obsessing about getting back to the keyboard and writing some more.

And now, the progress meter:
15,593 / 50,000
(31.2%)


Those who are good with the math will note that I'm still a bit behind the 18333 words that I should have written by today, but I'm pretty confident I'll make up those missing 3000 words sometime this weekend. Maybe then I'll actually be able to pull a bit ahead.
