seekingferretWhew! Kaleidoscope story first draft is 'finished' at 5200 words. Finished meaning two major sections that don't advance the plot but without which the story is meaningless are unwritten, but I can at least send it off to my beta and get that process moving.
I did not anticipate this story being this complicated to write, but I'm really pleased with it. NaNo starts tonight, so I'd better finish up those last two sections so I can move on to my next writing project.
I've written the last few thousand words on my new shiny HP Touchpad, by the way. With the wireless keyboard I find writing pretty straightforward, and my writing program syncs to Dropbox whenever I'm connected to the internet, which is sweet. Overall, I'm pleased with the Touchpad. It has a nice email program that integrates my yahoo and gmail accounts, plays video well, works as an ereader, plays music both locally and via Pandora and other internet radio services, and has a well thought out interface for multitasking. For the price, it was a great deal.
Now I just need to settle on a writing song for NaNo. Last year it was Justin Bieber's "U Smile" in that ambient version slowed by 800%. I kept listening to it again and again as I wrote. I'm hoping to settle on something that hits a similar balance of ambient yet rhythmic. Maybe the Orb. "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld" might be a little too distracting in places, but it's a great album anyway.
Oh, I also need a plot, but I guess we'll see about that tonight.
