working on: "untitled at the moment" for NaNo 2006
please feel to leave many comments on my inability to spell or make a coherent thought
BE QUIET ALREADY!
Well, NaNo is over for 2005. My last word count was my final word count. I haven't written in weeks. Life just got to stressfull (as usual). But I'm not terribly disappointed in my self. I almost made it to 20,000 words and those were mostly written in a week and a half. Not too bad. My main goal was to hit 25, 000 and I probably would have had I not been sick the whole first week or horribly depressed around Thanksgiving.
My Fic is not done yet, though, so the writing continues for me. I finally wrote chapters 12 and 13 yesterday. The first wasn't that great but I needed to get back in the groove. I had no direction. Well I had a little but I couldn't sort out all the ideas I had floating around. I'm about to make up an outline for the remaining chapters because I'm getting myself confused. I rarely use any kind of written down outline for stories but this thing is getting long and complicated with two seperate stories running side by side.
So I had Hyde and Donna talk some more about her problems with Eric, then Hyde got a clue from Jackie that something might be going on that she knows about. After that Donna finds Eric at a motel and feaks out and runs to Hyde for comfort. Hyde is no angry at his friend for possibly cheating on Donna. Nothing was actually said and neither has proof. It will all work out in the end.
The other chapter with Steve and Kate was more fun to write. It started out awkward trying to get rid of Betsy. Steve takes her to the train station and as she's kissing him bye he realizes that he doesn't love her and really isn't feeling the way he used to about her.
Afterwards his first instinct is to call Kate and talk about it but he is now realizing that Kate is his main problem. He calls her anyway but only talks to Shawn.
Then Kate shows up at his house and the two settle in to watch some TV. I really liked that part of the chapter, showing how the two are great friends. I'm still not sure how I will tackle the issue of their age. It should cause all sorts of problems with their relationship.
Now I'm stuck on where to go from here. I know where I need to get at the end of the next Hyde chapter (well either the end of 14 or 16--not sure yet) but I'm not sure what I could put inbetween for filler. The end will be like the climax for their part of the story, bringing everything to a head. As for Steve and Kate. I need to add a break-up scene with Betsy and I have a bunch of good scenes to add where Steve is the protector again. One has to do with Kelly and the other with Kate. Well the one with Kate will show his true feelings finally, or at least show him admitting them outloud. Should be good.
If only I could find the right time to write. It is becoming harder and harder. The kids are around all the time. I have been keeping the TV off during the day to keep them out of the living room but it doesn't work. They keep runing in every few minutes, yelling and screaming. Then dh gets home and the TV and playstation go on and compete soundwise. He turns the TV way up and then turns the video game up to hear over the TV (does he really need it that loud to hear little clicks and beeps as he designs a wrestler--obviously he does). That goes on until at least 10pm or later when he has days off. So, I'm stuck writing after he is in bed. I'm usually tired and barely coherent, but I try to get something done.
