Over two days I have written 8170 words.
My aim on day one was to get to 5000 words. I wrote 5148. My aim on day two was to reach 10,000. Sadly I underachieved and only wrote 3022 words. However, since I only had two hours of writing time, I was happy with it.
My aim today is to reach 15,000 in total so that means I need to write 6830 words. It’s a big ask, especially since my parents are visiting, but I will try and reach it.
The best part about NaNoWriMo is the support. You can get support in the online forums. Or you can get support from the locals. Here in Adelaide, Australia, there are a lot of people taking part. As a result they organise meet ups so we can support each other.
Yesterday we had a ‘write in’. We got together, wrote, talked and threw ideas around. It was great. That’s where I got my writing done.
Well, I don’t have much else to report. It’s a lot of fun. I’m writing a brand new novel so it’s a real challenge but I’m loving every bit of it.
For those taking part, how are you going?
I’m experiencing the expected envy that I knew would come from not participating, but I’m glad to hear that most everyone is killin’ it. The meet ups sound cool, even to this introvert. Keep on, and good luck!
Thanks! And don’t forget there’s always next year to take part if you’re interested. 🙂 x
I’ll start psyching myself out now 😉
