Over Half Way!

Time for a NaNoWriMo update: 27479 words. I am over half way there! I am a bit behind in word count (about 2,500 words), but that isn't too bad. I was over 5,000 behind when I started yesterday. So, I am feeling good about it and really not worried about catching up. I just didn't write much this weekend, which I think was the issue. I am feeling like I am at a bit of a block...the story isn't coming out as quickly as it was before, but I think that is common. So, I will just keep writing. It is still yet to be seen if this is actually going to be anything worth taking to the next draft, but we' ll see.

One thing that it has done is shown me that writing is good for me, and that if i make time, I have it--maybe not to write at this quick pace all of the time. But to make good, steady progress. So maybe one day you will actually walk past my book at Barnes and Noble!

NaNoWriMo Update

10 days...16,701 words. I rock!! :) In all seriousness, the NaNoWriMo experience is going well. I have missed a couple of days of writing because of work (no fun) and partying (fun :) ), but managed to catch up with my word count today. Even more exciting is that my story seems to be forming into something :) The writing is very very rough and I can't even imagine how much editing is going to go into this thing if I want to do anything with it. But those thoughts are for another time--another month. November is just for fast-paced, no holds barred, writing.

Productive Weekend

So I have 7,147 words so far! I only did 2,000 today since I spent most of the day writing a paper--darn school! It is interesting because I have no idea what my book is going to be about and have no idea where it is going! It is kind of fun this way because it is like I am reading it at the same time. Right now I can't wait to find out what happens! I am happy to have survived the first weekend. I am a bit scared aabout this week because I am super busy at work and have a few after work commitments. But hopefully it will go alright! Yay NaNoWriMo!!

Over 5,000

On the first day of NaNoWriMo, I spit out over 5,000 words! The daily goal is 1,167, but I wanted to build up a reserve for insurance! I sort of went it to this with very little planning and thoughts about it...so I am in a place that I never would have thought I would be. I am trying really hard to silence the self-editor and to just keep plunking away to see what comes of it. I may be comically bad, but it might always be a start to something good. 29 more days to go!
