Another relatively easy project that I made harder than I had to. I’m only noting it here because it’s a completed project. Compared to yesterday’s work, it’s kinda boring.
I am about a day behind, but still plugging at it.

Well that took longer than intended. A lot of goofs, a lot of rewatching videos and searching through notes. Still, I think it came out pretty decent.

So I’m taking an eight week course on compute graphics via the program Blender. This means more images posted here. Good news is, I’m not doing yet another lighthouse island. Bad news is, there’s probably not going to be T Rexes in this course.
Next, I’m supposed to do a low polygon winter scene. Just in time for a not so low polygon scene to pop up in my neck of the country. Yay?
Second Chance – Day 10
Okay, I did a banner bit of writing, putting in 1752 words in today. Which would be nice if I had that much to put in yesterday. Which I didn’t. I didn’t even record what I did have.
Any ways, this is more or less the 1/3 mark. According to NaNoWriMo I’m at 37% done. I’m shooting for ten chapters per quarter of the novel, and I’m rounding out Chapter 8. I was much further along with the plot with the first draft. Still, I think this is the better written draft.
Hope for more tomorrow.
Second Chance – Day 08
876 words, and mostly revision and no progress.
Still feel very good about this. In all ways an improvement on the first one.
Second Chance – Day 07
1815 words. Which would have been great YESTERDAY. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling up to par and missed yesterday’s work.
Still, 31% at the quarter mark. Still plugging. By this point I have an idea of how it ends and, more importantly, who the murderer is.
This last bit I had before this point last year, but this time knowing the killer doesn’t spoil things. I just have to figure out how to go about concealing who it is while point out who it has to be without spoiling things.
Anyways, that’s where I stand.
Second Chance – Day 05
1530 words, better than I need, and another chapter down. I’m told I’m over the quarter way mark.
Now why couldn’t things be going this well during NaNoWriMo proper?
Second Chance – Day 04
1210 words. Almost to the shorted goal, but not quite there.
What happened?
I’m working Chapter Six and have been a few days. Anyways, I finished it yesterday and thought it good. Only to wake this morning and realize there was too much chatter and not enough action.
Not fighting or anything like that. It just felt like everyone was just standing around yapping.
On this, it was a lot of exposition. Actually, there’s a lot of exposition here. It’s early going in a fantasy type novel. World needs building.
I was afraid it was dull.
Nothing was really wrong with the chapter, though. So I decided to chop it up, move stuff around, and, of course, rewrite Chapter Six.
Again.
Long story short, it should be finished, no further work to be done. Tomorrow, Chapter Seven and hopes to slip the former Chapter Six into place.
I might pull out stuff from older drafts. Assuming I can find it.
Anyways, good day. Not great, but good.
Second Chance – 03
1,681. What I would have needed in a normal day. About 200 some better than I need for this little experiment.
I’ll take it.
Second Chance – 02
992 words isn’t what I call a banner day, but this restart doesn’t begin at zero. Not sure what the actual necessary number of words I need to hit is.
Might have to look into that.
The writing went well. I have stuff that needs reworking, but that’s for tomorrow.
I should also point out that I now believe I know who the killer is. Which is good for a murder mystery type thing like I’m writing. Fortunately the killer is different in this draft than the last. That was one part of the first run that I didn’t quite get behind.
Hopefully tomorrow will run smoother.
