NaNoWriMo: Just cracked 5,000

Dedicated to gem for reminding me to write it!

I wasn’t counting on crazy work season in the middle of NaNoWriMo and it’s put my whole writing schedule out of whack.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Dedicated to gem for reminding me to write it!

I wasn’t counting on crazy work season in the middle of NaNoWriMo and it’s put my whole writing schedule out of whack.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

To take my almost-full-time workload into account, just after I published the last article, I set myself a new and still fairly stiff goal: 10,000 words by the end of the month.

Given that the end of the month is next Friday, I have to write a couple of thousand words this weekend and then about 500 words a day for the rest of next week.

Wish me luck.

Numbers aside, I’m still enjoying the writing and getting back to just creating rather than planning and calculating and sticking to the plans and calculations.

My eyes are still in a glasses-only state (except for the odd sporting related contact lens stint) because not only do I stare at words on screens for about three quarters of my waking hours, I’m also madly researching and reading novels from the era my book is set in for the other quarter.

Stay tuned for the final wrap up.
