One small thing has changed, however. With both of us being insanely busy this month, we decided to go with the Young Writer's Program. Our goal is 50 pages by April 30. To start with at least. It could very easily grow depending on how well this goes.
Once again, you can keep up with our progress on our joint profile: pippinandsam. I'll also be updating here from time to time.
As for the rest of my writing... more to the point, as for The Way We Think (NaNoWriMo novel of 2010) things are going rather slowly. My goal to finish second draft is still set for June 1, but I think it's going to be a lot harder from here on out. I've reached the point where my plot wasn't thought out quiet as well and things were just kind of meshed together in order to get me those 50,000 words. I'm not really sure how I'm going to strengthen these weak areas, and the thought is daunting me. Put simply, I've got writers block, or editors block if you like.
I've reached 50,414 words in this draft though, and I'm not going to let a little thing like writer's block hold me back. I'm hoping a little brainstorming, a lot of sugar, and an over-active imagination will be able to figure something out in the near future. If not... I'm not sure what I'll do.
I know what you mean about slow progress on 2010 Nanos. A couple days ago I finally passed 60,000 on my first draft, and I was at once excited by the "milestone" and depressed that that was as far as I had gotten since November 30. In my defense, though, this novel is being such a trouble-child... I hope you get some inspiration soon, though.
