Voidious: NaNoWriMo Winner!

Well, that about does it. Final word count of 50,225. There's plenty of editing and revising in store for this thing, but for now, here's my final submission to National Novel Writing Month:

To A Trained Eye draft v1.0
Word Count: 50,225

It's been real :) Peace.

Voidious: Sprint to the Finish

Well, I'm at 47,500 words, and I'm just about to sit down and finish this story up. It's been an interesting month... started out strong but steady, then got a surge of video game addiction about halfway through the month, but I've managed to still stay on pace for the most part, and it looks like I will be successful.

Props to Mike and Matt for at least giving it a try ;) Hope we can all finish next year. I'll post again later with my final draft.

Voidious: Day Twenty Two

Just finished a mad writing session, and find myself well beyond 50k pace for 11/22 (today). Here's my latest draft... the story has really come a long way, and I must say I'm proud of it, even though it's still pretty far from polished.

Enjoy.

Voidious: Day Twenty One

Well, I completely fell off and played a bunch of video games last week... tonight, I finally sat down and did some more writing, and almost brought myself back to pace. Here's my latest:

Voidious: Day Fourteen

Still a few hundred words ahead of "50k pace", here is my latest draft. Almost halfway to 50k.

To A Trained Eye draft v0.15
Word count: 24,278

The story has really taken shape, and I've gotten a lot of great ideas mid-stream while writing it. Let's hope they keep coming ;)

Voidious: Day Twelve

Well, I'm about to start writing a bit more, but I figured I should post what I have. About 40% of the way to 50k, and I'm pacing for 50k, so it should be about 40% of the story, too.

The diary form is interesting, and I don't think I'll be writing another diary-based story for a while; but I've had the idea for this story for over a year, so I'm glad that I'm getting it done. It's tough to try and write it in an appealing style while keeping it distinct from my own writing style.

Anyway, here it is: To A Trained Eye draft v0.13
Word Count: 19,900

As always, comments/suggestions welcome.
