Write a novel during NaNoWriMo

I’m running out of steam on this one…I hit 28K and…now I’m just sitting here trying to figure out what is supposed to be happening.

Hmm…

I’m approaching my 25K goal. I had planned for it to take me about 2 wweks, but I am WAY ahead of schedule. I don’t know if this is good or bad, because I could be writing complete and total crap that is totaling twenty-five thousand words….

Good luck to everyone else that is persuing this goal!

words written on day one! Since my full-time job is demanding, I have made myelf a NaNoWriMo journal and I will be bringing that to work. My plan is to write on my 2 breaks and my lunch hour. And after eating quick dinner, I type it up and write some more! Double work, I know, but it’s the only way I can get an accurate count.

When I finished writing on day one, I had wrtten 19500 words.

I’ve got my outline completed today. And from looking at it, I can tell you a few things:

1. Strong beginning, stong end.
2. Soft middle.

This is frustrating. But I still have time to firm up the middle.

I got registered with NaNoWriMo and I even filled out the profile section.

I’ve done some prelim work on my novel, just character building and storyboarding mostly.

I still haven’t decided where my novel goes in the whole genre spectrum, but I’m leaning toward chick lit. And a title! I need one of those too!

Maybe I should actually consider finding a writing buddy or two…or 12.

Come November 1 I’m going to be ready to make the effort. The only thing that will be holding me back is me.

With a little-ok, maybe a lot-planning, I can do this. I even know a few people who have been doing this for a few years. It might be time to pick their brains about it.
