The "Bianca is Going to Write More" Thread!

[Bianca <3]

As some of you may know, I am currently in med school. And surprisingly, it's going well so far! I like the classes and I actually have some more free time than expected, so I've recently been writing more. So I decided to make this thread for Nanowrimo. Unfortunately, I do have finals in two weeks, so I don't think I can write 50,000 words by the end of the month. However, I am going to try to write a little each day, just to help me keep some sanity as I try to get through finals!

I have a few stories on my computer that I may work on this month. The two major ones:

1. Control - This is a teen fiction/fantasy/gritty story about a girl who can control the people around her by making them attracted to her. She has a complicated past and it's fun to play with all of that. Plus, I'm trying to write short, punchy chapters for this piece, so this one may be the best to attempt Nano with.

2. Devil in the Details - This is another teen fiction/fantasy story about how the devil has come down to earth in human female form, trying to forge a deal with a high school girl. However, things get all wacky when you find out that the devil is the one who really needs the deal, because she has a crush on a human boy. This one is pretty campy and is going to have a cool twist midway through. The only issue is that right now I am so bored by the teen fiction scenes (which are not my forte) and am so antsy to write the funner scenes. So I may delve into this too.

3. Other options will be to write a new short story for neopets, or possible work on some medicine-inspired stories. I'm working for my school's medical literary journal so it may be nice to get some brainstorming done!


Here's to writing everyday for the next month!

Well, finals have finally hit, and I'm itching to do some writing tonight (even though my first exam is tomorrow).

Still, I'm going at a good pace today with all the biochem, so hopefully I'll have time!

Yesterday I managed to do some writing, but it was mostly a rant on the election. It needed to be done to corral all my feelings into one place.

But tonight, I will delve into something outside of this world. I think it'll help.

I have a lot of respect for people who do Nano. Cranking out a lot of writing is hard, and I'm not even doing a real Nano! Also, surprisingly, last week I had a break from school and I did absolutely no writing! I was spending a lot of time with my boyfriend and family, which sucked up my time. Bad job Bianca! Still, I am feeling inspired now, so I'm going to try to ride this productive wave for as long as possible!

Well, my total is a dismal 8870 words. However, despite the low number, I am proud of myself! I am in medical school and am trying to balance a lot of stuff, so honestly, writing 8870 words this month is probably an improvement compared to most of the other months I've been here!

A lot of the writing I did this month was for Control, however I also wrote a reflection piece on the election, a philosophical piece on medicine and art, and even played around with a possible sequel for my previous novel.

Over all, not too shabby.
