hildy89I finished the third Booth piece for the science fiction class. I've been so preoccupied with Nanowrimo I've gotten majorly behind in the homework and critiquing. Never enough hours in the day, even during the weekend.
After three endless short stories, I opted to submit the first two chapters of a military science fiction novel "Dream of Yesterday". The title comes from a quote by Robert Goddard: "It is difficult to say what is impossible for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." I'm prepared for the critiquers to say that title/quote doesn't make any sense with the storyline, but that was what inspired the story. Basic plot outline: Famous military pilot disappears en route to her new posting, causing political repercussions at home and abroad.
Attended my third meeting of the Cat Vacuuming Society of Northern Virginia. I actually managed to keep all the writing exercises within my Nano universe this time, increasing my word count somewhat. I wish I hadn't stayed up so late. These long hours will start catching up with at some point.
Nanowrimo progresses nicely. I'm at 35K right now, cruising to 40K for the weekend. I suspect I'll definitely need the last complete week to come close to finishing in time.
