'Tis the season! I am indeed participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) again, so expect blog posts to be short and sweet this month.
In order to make the 50,000 word goal by the end of November, I'm aiming for 2,000 words/day. This is a little more than I need to reach 50K by November 30, so I'll have a few non-noveling days built in. This year I'm writing a book for Betsy, at her request. On one hand, I always feel guilty taking time away from the family/chores/sleep to do fun things. On the other hand, I want to set an example for Betsy, and to show her that her mother can indeed still do things not concerning the family/chores/sleep. My hope is to use November to write the first draft, and to have a novel to begin reading to her on her birthday in February.
I'll try to update here with my word counts, just like I did on the old blog when I won NaNoWriMo in 2007.
Today's Word Count:
2,092 accomplished out of daily goal of 2,000
Total Word Count:
2,092 out of 50,000 (4%)
Wow, that 4% makes this seem so daunting. I think last time I started tracking the percent a little later in the process. I mean, yeay, 4% done! Not bad, considering that I've had about four hours of sleep and accomplished this word count with a sick baby napping on my back while the older child is at preschool.
