I don’t have anything pressing to write about, but I figured I should do a Nanowrimo update post, since we are just about 1/2 way through the month. Surprise, surprise: I am NOT half way through the book. I have almost 16,000 words, though, and that’s not nothing. I estimate that I’m about 4,000 words behind.
I have definitely been farther behind and still won.
Writing every night has been impossible, of course. But I have managed to carve out 3-4 nights a week for this endeavor, and that is definitely something. I haven’t hit the week 2 hates yet (they may still be coming). I have enjoyed just picking words with horribly wrong connotations and moving on. I’m sure I’ll hit those and laugh/cringe when I do the rewrite. If I ever do a rewrite, since this novel concept is pretty silly and I did it because I thought it would be fun fluff – no aspirations needed.
Anyway, I’m plugging onward. I’m determined to win. I’m determined to keep writing. That is all.
