NaNoWriMo Week Two: The Words

NANOWRIMO & ME, YO
WEEK TWO: THE WORDS

As I neared the halfway point of "Lovefall," I've reached some high & low points and discovered somethings about my writing & myself along the way. In Part One of Week Two, I'll focus on The Words. 

One I realized was that I neared the halfway mark of NaNoWriMo itself. There was some relief. "Strife" isn't too long of a tale, and I didn't suspect the new version of "Cult, Inc." to be either. But when I thought about about "Familiar Facades" or "Ashland's Asylum," the dread sunk back in tenfold.

In the meantime, let's at the first six days of Week Two and what changes in my writing may have occurred.

WEEK TWO, PT I: THE WORDS

It might be obvious right away that there are only five days worth of stats below. While I fully intended on writing during Election Day in the U.S., I'll admit, I got distracted. With that in mind, as I write today, I will need to make up an extra 1,486 words. 

MORE OF THE FEELS

I've discussed the feels in the past, so I'll jump to the results. I would more go into detail about how I'm a little happy to see the "success" portion at the end, but it would spoil some of the plot.  In the next part of Week Two's entries, I'm going to discuss why I think my own mindset might have rubbed off into the story a bit. 

RATING : NEW HEIGHTS, OR IS IT DEPTHS? 

I don't necessarily aim for a specific "rating" when I write, but since 750words keeps track, I'd thought I share.

Everything was status quo early on in the week. Day 6 -- Lovefall and his girlfriend Natalie are eating at a restaurant, having a good time outside of listening to this one dude choke on his food.

When all of a sudden . . . 

Teddy comes over to hang out afterwards.

Yep, that's pretty much it.

There are a couple of creepy visions, but for the most part, you get to meet Damien Lovefall's best friend and fellow coworker Teddy.  It's a good scene, if I may be handsomely modest for a moment, but it's a simple one. 

Teddy merits an NC-17 rating in his monologue. Just a heads-up.  It's not even that he curses all that much; that's more of Natalie's thing.

Anyhow, that's Sunday and Monday. Here are Wednesday through Friday (fluctuations based on scene/normal stuff):
