Novel-in-a-Day 5: Go Set A NiaD

[pigfender]

Sounds like a plan!

The email questions have dried up now... Looks like everyone's either gone to bed or not got up yet so I'm going to go grab a quick couple of hours myself. Hopefully nothing urgent will come up in he meantime. If anyone does need anything, type really loudly and I might wake up!

[Evil Overlord]

OK. First draft done. Now I just have to go back and put in all the expectoratin'. I think the aliens will probably take care of that, though. They and the elves don't hold with a lot of spitting in their magic forest. It's okay I put that in, isn't it? You said extra characters were okay.

Okay if someone else is doing aliens and elves I'm totally putting in the UFO scene I wasn't sure about.

[pigfender]

I hate you all.

Okay so its the first year trying to write with a daughter.. NOT ONE WORD WRITTEN! I dont suppose it would be NIAD without me cutting it right to the wire... I'm blaming her!

Can I blame your daughter too? Please?

[Rollerdiva]

Although in my head the 'Triceptacon' battle section is pretty much done..

A western - awesome!
I never thought about writing one myself, so this is really cool!

I got two questions:

1) Does the Wells Fargo man riding into town to alert the Marshal have a name or do I need to call him "the Wells Fargo man", which might become rather strange?

2) Does the Marshal knwo about the contents of the stolen cases and / or is the content of any importance (to the story).

Cheers and happy writing!!

[RonjoI]

Done for now. I will wake up and look with fresh eyes. Can't wait to read the rest of the books. Had a great time, thanks again for the invite.

[Wolf_Baginski]

560 words so far.

Time for a break.

I had a few problems with getting WordPad to open the instruction file, but it worked OK in Libre Office

There's a lot that has to happen, and I have a feeling that my chapter is close to the end. The events fit with the genre conventions for that.

Hey Catcher74.
1) I've not given him a name anywhere. You can refer to him however you like!
2) The contents are mostly papers and a little bit of cash. Huge irritation to the bank, limited benefit to the robbers.

It's not often I get told that!

and I have a feeling that my chapter is close to the end. The events fit with the genre conventions for that.

Assuming, of course, that I have any familiarity with the genre conventions.

[Lazey]

400 words short and the chapter is 'finished'. Have to see if I can stretch it out some more.

[Raymond Xander]

I opened the pack before bed, a little drunk, and almost cried at the amount of info given! It's obviously a good thing though, so drunken me should get a grip.

Everything I know about westerns comes from Red Dead Redemption on the Xbox, which is great for the soundtrack to get me in the mood but bad because that game is set a full 40 years after this story!
