NaNoWriMo anyone?
LizW65:
3153 words so far, and I've finished my first chapter. Off to a good start!
Murphy's Stunt Double:
Wrote 772 words today and realized this is not what I want to write. :(
Going in a different direction.
Darwinist:
3,260 words.... outlining definitely helped a ton. The first few chapters were the hardest, now I'm getting into the easier stuff... just wish my chapters were a bit longer. But that'll happen with rewrites in the next few months (if it turns out decent)
I like the intro/prologue so far, lemme know what you guys think...
"It was a sunny Tuesday evening when I awoke from my coma. The coma was a short one, by medical standards. However, nothing about me fits into what I would consider a medical standard.
I knew, as a young boy, that I was destined for greatness. I dreamed of becoming the world's greatest hero. A dream most young children probably shared at some point in their lives. I lived it.
While kids my age were playing hide n' seek or learning their ABC's, I was selflessly protecting these United States of America from the evils of the world. Nazis, Martians, cataclysmic disasters. I've stopped them all. And here, on the eve of my death bed, feels no better place than any to recollect them each for the next generation. Somewhere out there is a little boy who dreams of something greater.
This is for him."

Murphy's Stunt Double:
Very cool!
I wrote 772 words of the story I thought I was going to write today, and then scrapped it and wrote 2185 words of what I'm really going to write, which really isn't a "story" at all. More like an unauthorized autobiography! LOL
