NaNoWriMo?!
What have I done? Why did I agree to write an 80k word novel in one month? Am I out of my mind? Yes, I must be. Technically I only have to write a 50k word novel but my novel needs to be at least 80k. Someone please slap me now.

My goal is to get a half-decent 50,000 word first draft out of this. I just gotta get a flow going and no wine until 25,000 words. I was at 6810 yesterday and now it's time to get moving...

It's way to over ambitious of me, but I'll still try.
Its probably a good method. Fill the pages in accordance with the books plan and then start editing. Can't remember who said but I believe "writing's rewriting"
I'm not having a good day today. Cold, dark, tired, hmmm
could be worse; you be on fire, blinded by the light, and so full of energy that it hurts!
It's all relative, I suppose. One man's tragedy is another man's inspiration. o.O
Yep, just like marriages in the european royal families- RELATIVE
So, how's it going? I'm hanging here at 19,000. I want to hit 25 by Thursday. Slow going because I'm concentrating so much on structure.

I cranked out over 7k the last two nights. I'm trying to really stick to not editing and just writing. It's difficult and I find myself perusing my work and making small changes. It's just habit I guess.
I really hope I can hit 75K by months' end.
Nice work for hitting 19K. You should be able to make 50K by the end of the month with (hopefully) no problems. KEEP IT UP!
Remember Dori from "Finding Nemo." "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

Well, I'm easy to crush on. :D
As is, gotta update my own blogs this weekend - got Wreck It Ralph and the follow-up of The Man With The Iron Fists review, a new That Bastard On, more Sooth(e) and MFM...plus I got further edits to make to BOTH Taboo 0 and 1.
Bah.
Gonna get busy pretty soon. :3
I did it! I hit the 50K mark! WOOT WOOT! Now it's all cake from here.
Congratulations! I'm a bit over 33,000.Are you really going for 75?
