    The West Wing #3.04:

    I changed my clothes because I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about the death of two teenagers while wearing a ball gown, and you knew that. Because you're stupid, but you're not stupid, you know what I'm saying? Security's gonna take your press credentials. You'll call my office every day and I'll decide if you get into the room. I'm taking your spot on Pebble Beach - you can do your stand-ups from Lafayette Park. One more word out of your mouth and every local station in town but yours gets an exclusive with the President. Hunting season on me is over. And the chemical abbreviation for table salt is NaCl.

NaNoWriMo: Knightfall: WINNER!

Posted by jetblack on November 27th, 2005

I won! I wrote my 50,000th word tonight. It was ‘just,’ and the full line was: “I’m no lawyer, Commander, but one would think you staged this just so you would have the proper leverage with the senior officers.” Now that I’ve won NaNoWriMo, I can now finish writing this thing at my own pace. :) Maybe I’ll participate next year, too… though this was pretty fucking easy for me.

NaNoWriMo: Knightfall: Update

Posted by jetblack on November 27th, 2005

I just finished chapter six and started chapter seven. Chapter Six saw an interesting development… I introduced a new character that seemed to demand a lot of on-screen time from me. I created the character as a means of showing the lower decks of the ship instead of always showing a top-down kind of story; like showing off a facet of my main character through the eyes of a subordinate officer, but now I’m thinking of using her to create a subplot involing her and her older brother, who is in the equivalent of the SEALs in my universe.

Note: Chapter Six ended up with 18 pages and 12,000+ words. It’s the largest chapter in the story so far.
