NaNoWriMo Day 11
18380 / 50000 words. 37% done! I almost missed this day. And I ended up writing a lot of text that was an exploration by each of the protagonists and one of the minor antagonists about the...

NaNoWriMo Day 12
20051 / 50000 words. 40% done! Routines. I’m thinking that routines are something I need (well, no, I take that back; I know that routines are what I need). So I’m thinking that life will go like...

NaNoWriMo Day 13
21732 / 50000 words. 43% done! After a non-fender-bender in the parking lot at the local Safeway, I did not deal well with time and ended up having only an hour and a half to make it to 1,666 words....

NaNoWriMo Day 14
I can’t make the word count today. I’ve spent 12 hours at work, 4 hours commuting thanks to the worst timing, and somewhere in there I haven’t been getting enough sleep and barely enough time to eat...

NaNoWriMo Day 15
22655 / 50000 words. 45% done! I’m behind by quite a bit. This will be a very writey weekend after all. I left myself on a cliffhanger because I frankly didn’t know what to do next. I’m currently...

NaNoWriMo Day 16
My NaNoWriMo calendar looks like a game of tetris! I wonder how glowy green days get when you do really well, as I expect tomorrow to be (it has to, I’ve got a lot of words to make up). Things I...

NaNoWriMo Day 17
26373 / 50000 words. 53% done! I’m catching up as best I can. If I do, I will have written over 6000 words this weekend, which is a nice pace indeed. Not too much that I can’t pay attention to what...

NaNoWriMo Day 18
28505 / 50000 words. 57% done! I’m now a day behind. I couldn’t gain any more because I hit a wall after 2000 words; a combination of running into scenes that were harder to write (but not to be...

NaNoWriMo Day 19
30557 / 50000 words. 61% done! I’m aiming for 2000 words a day at this point, otherwise I’m not going to catch up. And it’s a good daily workload for a part-time writer in any case, much less one with...

NaNoWriMo Day 20
32558 / 50000 words. 65% done! I’ve managed to write 2000 words in a single hour. I think because I had sketched out in my head the way I wanted the scene to go, and the girls in the basement have...

NaNoWriMo Day 21
33072 / 50000 words. 66% done! Thanks to a long commute in the dark, I ended up with a headache that’s keeping me from thinking muchly, as a result I’ve only completed 514 words for tonight. However,...

NaNoWriMo Day 22
I have all the colors (I think) available in the NaNoWriMo calendar widget! I’m very tired from Thanksgiving turning into a high-stress horrible thing of bad memories. I’m tired and I’m going to bed...

NaNoWriMo Day 23
35984 / 50000 words. 72% done! So Thanksgiving Day was a disaster; almost no words. This weekend has to be the big push, or else I’m not going to make it on Friday (curses that NaNoWriMo doesn’t end...

NaNoWriMo Day 24
38623 / 50000 words. 77% done! I was able to put in 2,639 words today, almost reaching my goal of 3000 words. I didn’t reach it because I ended up getting absorbed in researching seals and reading...

NaNoWriMo Day 25
43358 / 50000 words. 87% done! I pushed to an extra day of words, writing over 4500 words in the process. Not 6000, but it’s going on beyond my comfort zone. By now I’ve definitely reached the 40k I...

NaNoWriMo Day 26
45028 / 50000 words. 90% done! Woot, 90% mark! I’m cruising in at 1666 words a day at least, because otherwise I’m not going to finish. I suspect something will happen over the next few days that will...

NaNoWriMo Day 27
Today, as I do from time to time, I had a mental meltdown for no reason. Things were going fine at work; I just felt a sudden pulling of despair that didn’t stop and hasn’t stopped. It got to the point...

NaNoWriMo Day 28
46710 / 50000 words. 93% done! DOWN TO THE WIRE PREDICTIONS: 1. I will reach 50k words. 2. I will not be finished with the draft. I tried to turn the reversal of play/counterplay too soon, and there’s...
