NaNoWriMo

50K words.... nope
6K+ Words... yup
Lot of worthless crap that made it too hard to slog on.... Yup
Decent Kernel of a story that I will exhume from the crap and plant anew OH HELL YEAH!!

Bear of Avalon will go on, but trying to completely discovery write isn't working for me but plotting puts me to sleep so I need to find a happy medium. I need to at least build a frame and if something happens where the story breaks free of that frame learn to build an addition.

Story as I had it wandered all over the place, and that sucked hardcore. Too many different little arcs that confused each other.

I plan on working on Bear of Avalon along with a Zombie novel in 2010.

In the meantime I'm trying to stay in a writing habit by writing a little something every day at least a couple hundred words preferably part of something but if not it'll go in the vault for future projects. With BuyMeCrapmas, my youngest's Birthday, My Anniversary and New Years all hitting me in a weeks time later this month I need to just zone out and not try to stress myself out.

I'm thinking of setting a Zombie Story in space on a station orbiting a world that is being terraformed for colonization. It gives me a way to Limit the zombie population naturally without the story devolving into a countdown timer of when is everybody going to die.
