Blog Number 6: "Didgeridoo" Edition
Good news! Following on from last week's blog (if you're interested in the details of the National Pony Writing Month, please see that blog), I went ahead and began work on my new Daring Do story. The first chapter is now up on my Userpage, in the section on the top right entitled In Progress/Development.
I admit, first of all, that it's come a little later than I was hoping it would, since I promised it'd be out on Friday 10th and it's Saturday 11th here. It also doesn't seem like a great amount when you consider I'm planning to write 50,000 words in one month, but I intend to catch up during the later weeks now that I've got the stone rolling. Still, I'm happy with what I've achieved so far, and I must admit it was far more fun to write than I thought it would be, which is very encouraging!
Unfortunately, I'm also going to have to be flexible with the next deadline, because I'm going on holiday next week. Due to the timing, and depending on how our holiday plays out, I might not be back in time to get at least one other chapter out for Friday. Instead, I'll leave a "safety blanket" on the Saturday and Sunday following 17th August so that I can still prove I have done some work. The other deadlines will stay the same.
If you wish to read what I've written so far, you are very welcome to do so. It is only fair to tell you, though, that it is a work in progress and may be edited greatly before I decide to submit it. I have not submitted it yet simply because I want to write it all out first, and then find a proofreader once I have the entire story up. The main reason I'm putting it on display in the first place is as public proof that I'm keeping to my deadlines and not slouching for this project. After all, I joined the NPWM chiefly to help me with my writing habits (and hopefully to produce a good story to contribute to the fandom). Nevertheless, I've tried to make the chapter as enjoyable as possible.
That's all for now, and I hope you have a good summer. Impossible Numbers, out.
