Skot (Lost)'s Blog – November 2011 Archive (7)

Moments ago I achieved the goal I began on November 1st to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. In fact I finished one day early. The novel I wrote tells the story of how the outbreak began from the perspective of patient zero. I hope to re-write and edit the novel into something that I just might be…

I've written 35,026 words of a novel. I'm on track to hit the 50,000 word count goal established by NANOWRIMO.

I write 1,667 words a day. That part hasn't been difficult. The words come quickly and easily. The problem is that I'm using up all my words, like my brain is only willing to formulate so many sentences a day. After my daily writing, inevitably I'm be required to speak with another living person. I try to avoid it…

I've written 21,699 words in my NANOWRIMO novel. That's somewhere around 80 pages. I'm on track to hit 50k words by the end of the month.

I want this book to feel like a found object from the Lost Zombies universe. We captured that feeling perfectly with Dead Inside: Do Not Enter. My goal with this story is to create a book that achieves 4 things:

Current Progress: 3363 words... On track to hit 50k words by Nov 30

The story is about a 17 year old who was at the testing facility mentioned in the Lost Zombies timeline. This…

I'm taking part in National Novel Writing Month. NANOWRIOMO started yesterday November 1st. The goal of NANOWRIMO is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I'm using this as an opportunity to write a story about patient zero in the Lost Zombies mythology. When we were coming up with the idea for the site I had a notion of how the virus began. It's a story I've wanted to explore for a long time. 

I plan to publish blog posts about…
