Excerpt:
“No,” Ambrose said. “No, no, no.” He put his arms around Audrey and kissed her cheeks. He kissed her mouth, almost aggressively, and squeezed her waist. “No,” he said again, and realized that Audrey was crying.
Comments: I can't believe I've written 43 pages! Crazy!
Writing in the evening worked well. I think I'll continue to do that when I can, at least until things calm down a little bit at work (soon, please!).
I have noticed another funny thing about my writing. I am always stating why people are doing things not because the reader necessarily needs to know, but because I myself want to record it and remember it! LOL. I'm not sure I'm going to be up to ever editing this thing, because I know it would be a Herculean, if not Sisyphean, task. But I think this will be useful for pointing out my bad habits. Although some of them I do know to avoid when I'm writing something polished -- using too many adverbs is the most obvious task that comes to mind; with NaNo, I'm using them because they're fast and easy, but I know they're bad. But other less obvious things might come to light. All right, the SO will be home in a moment, so I'm off to think about dinner!
