I can officially say that I am half way through NaNoWriMo and I am winning!
I was nervous about participating in Nation Novel Writing Month at first (I have tried to write a couple of novels in the past and never finished them) but I worry no longer. Little did I know that if I had a deadline and a competition to compete in that I could write a (very rough draft) novel in a month. I am having fun writing, it's very interesting when my characters have a mind of their own and start doing things I hadn't planned. It's not always easy and fun though, I force myself to sit down and write at least 2,000 words every single day and sometimes this simple task will take me hours because I just can't concentrate. Okay, enough rambling. Here is my word count so far... drum roll please...
40,006 words!!!!
Now for some fun statistics to further explain how awesome this is.
Well as you can see I'm way above schedule! I'm feeling pretty darn accomplished right now. I'm hoping my novel will be around 80,000 words and I may even finish the whole thing this month. We shall see. Hopefully one day in the future after A LOT of editing my work of art will be good enough for me to share with everyone. Until then, carry on.
**If you are participating in NaNo please share your progress below! If you are not participating and you would just like to cheer me on feel free to do that as well. ;)
Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations. Once you're done with yours, do you want to go to work for me so I can sit and write??? I'm way behind. Like, 8,000 words. NaNoWriMo might become NaNoDecWriMo!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think I'll pass on working for you. And that isn't that far behind!! Keep going I know you can do it! :D
DeleteThat is freaking awesome Kay! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole!!!
DeleteWow that is awesome! I can't imagine writing that much in a month and you're SO FAR ahead :) I hope you keep at it with all the next steps of editing and polishing so we can all read it one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! I have a plan for the new year to fix it up so hopefully others will get to read it. :)
DeleteThat's awesome!!!! NaNoWriMo is great for providing motivation to just get it done. I really hope you share your book down the road =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather, that means a lot coming from an author whose books I love! NaNo was just what I needed to get going. I love writing and I am having a blast, even if it is hard sometimes.
