Time to reconnect

I've managed to find the time to keep working on the book begun with Nano 2009--I need another 20 to 25,000 words to complete the first draft. I've set a deadline of December 31 on the draft.

Sadly, some of that time came at the expense of posting here, which I've missed. Now I just need to see how I can adjust things around All Things Writing. Right now, I'm able to comfortably produce between 700 and 800 words per day on the novel. It'll be interesting to see what kind of additional pace I can keep up in BlogLand.

I did it.

50, 053 words, posted and verified at nanowrimo.org a couple minutes before 4 pm.

I'm gonna need another 20,000 words to complete the book, but hell, the challenge was 50,000 in 30 days.

Closing in on the Nano goal of 50,000 words by November 30!!!

This will be my first ever win on Nano. After three prior years of trying and failing.

Day 11: 17,681

Had a bad day where I got no work done at all during the lunch break. Somehow, the tap was open wide this evening, though, and I managed to make my daily output goal.

Whew.

Day 7

Somehow, I've managed to keep on target.

Fell absolutely asleep one evening on the keyboard.

One moment, English.

Next moment, and I quote, "Advertizing brongs servied cont"

That got edited out of the old word-count.

7,855, Day 5.

Lost almost all of the lunch hour writing time. Kept being hauled away from the lunch table, and couldn't develop any rhythm.

Gonna have to pick up the missing on the next day or so's worth of work. <sigh>
