Thanks so much to all of the kind people who have been checking in on my NaNo progress, er well, my lack of it. Here is a little update on how things are going.
Week 1: It started off slow, but by the end of the week, I had pretty well caught up.
Week 2: Did not happen. I completely dropped my NaNoWriMo writing to work on another pressing issue: school. As well as I’d like to do with NaNoWriMo, I knew when I began that my priority had to be my schoolwork. I’ve paid enough for the classes after all. Week 2 was busy as I had two presentations one after the other. Then the weekend was spent working on papers.
Week 3: OK. By now, I’m reassessing why I even started NaNo in the first place. What was I thinking? My biggest goal out of this whole process was to get into a more consistent and daily writing habit. (OK. I admit that the lovely idea of having a finished rough draft of a novel is a plus as well).
So today, I’m seriously considering what I’m going to do from here. I’m only at 10,760 words. I need 50,000 by the end of November. There are only 13 days left! That means I need to write roughly 3,020 words per day for the next 13 days to meet my goal.
So, here’s the plan. This afternoon, I’m going to watch and read all of the NaNoWriMo pep talks I can get my hands on. Then I’m going to start writing and see what I can accomplish. Word Wars, here I come!
Can I do it? I have no idea.
Am I crazy? Quite likely.
But, I’m going to try anyway.
