another NaNo update
15 Nov 2015 06:07 pmYesterday was our marathon write-in-motion event. I got 11k words done which is 1k less than last year. The first thing our ML did was show me the chart from last year where I blew everyone out of the water with my total. It made me smile. It was a lot harder to get the words out yesterday, though, because my story is dragging plotwise, but I pushed through. If I'd been in a better place in the plot like earlier last week, I probably could have easily hit 13k.
Anyway, the point of this post is to annouce that within those 11k words, I hit 50k. Actually halfway through. I have won NaNo, but can't officially document it until the 20th when they open the validator. I've never finished earlier than the 28th or 29th before.
I plan to get 3k written today. Then again, my brain is kind of fried from yesterday. Maybe I'll do some brainstorming to see why things are bogging down and try to get things back on track so the words come easier. I still want to at least get the usual 1667 written.
Woohoo for me!
How is everyone else doing?
