Nano 2010

Day One is done. 1828 words posted, coherent ones, too! Actually plan to devote each day's quota to a memorable event for my Warrior's Album. No idea what I'm referring to? Doesn't really matter. The only people I know who read this know, or have some idea. If you don't and care to, then YOU let ME know. Otherwise, I'll expend my energy this month on Zero Draft new NanoWrimo writing and promoting my novel which was written during past nano cycles and edited during EdMo. National Novel Editing Month. That's in March. First we write in November, then we edit (well hopefully in January and February) but have lots of company in March. Will this be my pattern every year from now until ?? Maybe. I'm one of 150,000 other wrimos this year. I'm also deeply into my Kagyu "Klan" Buddhist practice with local and online Sangha. Some of my nano stories will explain that. So, that's what I'm doing for the next 30 days... See ya on Facebook and Twitter, and as always www.AKSbook.com

I really am at 15K now. I posted "ahead" when I left in the mobile writing room (aka the Van) since I had no wifi for the trip. I did have the laptop and wrote about 4K while traveling. I am going to blog now about Buddhist thoughts before those get away from me. The Blog might be my Day 12 entry for nano... we'll see ;)

I just crossed the 40K mark today. I have 75 pages now. It will actually be kind of fun to edit this. Some of it could be used in a non-fiction sequel to AKS... I guess I can say anything here, my readership is rather small ;)

I did finish with 50,404 as my blog badge shows. Was not able to keep up blog and word count in November. Sorry! Now, with the the new blog-based Reverb10, it should be active for December!
