Do NaNoWriMo (read all 8 entries…)
November 7th

It’s the beginning of day 7 and I’m sitting at just under 18,000 words. I want to get to 20,000 tonight, but I don’t know if that’ll happen.

All in all, I think I’m doing pretty well. I’m certainly doing WAY better than last year, when I started off behind and never got around to catching up. I think that my secret this year has just been to make SURE that I hit my word count goal before going to bed. Sometimes I have to struggle and whip my muse and beat every single word onto the page, but I make sure that they get there.

Speaking of which, I should probably get back to that. I have another 2,000 words to go until I call it a day.

Wow, that's all I can say.

I am having problems getting more than 1,700 words written in a day. So, your additional 2,000 words today is just unthinkable to me right now.

You are an Olympian when it comes to writing.

Best of skill and luck to you in finishing NaNoWriMo.

Thanks!

Thanks, that’s nice of you to say! Actually, I’ve had to kick my own butt and get way ahead of schedule since November is my busiest month; I never know when I’ll be out of commission for a few days and won’t be able to write.

I tried to make my goal 2,000 words per day, which isn’t too bad considering how much I can ramble, but it’s still challenging most days. There are a couple of days in there when I didn’t hit it at all. I still make myself write, though.

Thanks for the good wishes, and good luck right back to you! Cheers :-)
