NaNoWriMo Progress – Day 18

Simon 17 Comments

Hello there bloggies it’s the 18th day of NaNoWriMo and as you can tell I’ve still not been able to be around much as I’ve been getting on with the task in hand of getting 50,000 words done by the end of the month.

I’m finding this is the tough part now actually. Things have flowed and they can still flow but now I’m finding I’m missing bits of story and at the end I’m running out of story so I need to mess about a bit and I’ve been falling a little behind but it’s quite recoverable. I hope.

Here’s where I am… just over 28,000 words. So it’s progressing, I intend to keep it up, 1600 words a day and make it to at least 50k, this will almost certainly not be the final book and there will be messing and fettling for a while and hopefully get the final manuscript to 70k

I hope you guys are ok and if anyone else is doing NaNo as well look me up: scifi_simon

NaNoWriMo Progress – Day 11

Simon 33 Comments

Hello there bloggies it’s the 11th day of NaNoWriMo and as you can tell I’ve not been here much. I thought a quick well placed post on progress and to say hi might be in order, just so you know I’m still about.

I’ve been able to keep up with reading posts either but I’m still getting though some.

Anyways, I have a book title but I’m sure it’s not going to be the final title, I have no idea what it will be but this is a Sci-Fi, space opera epic set in the future that is crammed with mystery, plot twists and a little on time travel as well.

Here’s where I am… just touching 17,000 words, I’m not sure why it says 0 days straight becasue I’ve been at this for damn 11 days straight and it knows that. I also won’t be finished on December the 3rd it’s just I’ve not written today’s words.

So it’s progressing, I intend to keep it up, 1600 words a day and make it to at least 50k, this will almost certainly not be the full book and I will have to carry on to about 70k ish.

I hope you guys are ok and if anyone else is doing NaNo as well look me up: scifi_simon

Blog Orbit – Blog Date November 2019

Simon 65 Comments

Hello bloggies, happy November! I cannot believe that we’re now racing towards Christmas. Halloween is done, this is now guy Fawkes Day / night and it’s insane how quickly this year has gone.

So – what’s going on?

Well… a bit of insanity actually. I decided I was going to take part in NaNoWriMo, long story on this but I was signing up to support a fellow blogger in their NaNo project and I got sucked in. But wow am I glad I did, I can’t say the word count is massive but I’m doing ok.

This leads me onto the second point about this – blogging wise this is likely to be a quiet month… I’ll see if I can post updates and all that but I’ll be busy trying to get 50k words done. If you’re doing NaNoWriMo look me up: SciFi_Simon

Last month some of you will have noticed a few ink sketches. I was kind of taking part in Inktober as and when I could and this is some of the drawings. Go and have look if you wank to see more.

I’ve continued (to a point) posting short word prompt stories, there are one or two bloggies that take part but I would really like more… have a look and have a go!

Octobers Blog Battle was called The Clone Soldier, based on the word prompt clone, this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.


Enigmatic Episodes has continued, an updated and refreshed version of the Sci-Fi files there’s enough here to scare and confuse.

Also make sure you look up my other blog Syborg’s Site. There’s some good stuff going on here, a lot of great pictures going up that I’m loving taking. Have a look…

Let me know how you guys are – what are you working on? How’s life?

Keep smiling and writing.
