For all those feeling discouraged at the thought of Nanowrimo...

Last year, on the 29th of October I wrote:


I don't feel like writing.

I particularly don't feel like writing 50,000 bloody words, regardless of how many days.

I have characters, main and supporting and minor, and scenes, and something resembling a plotline BUT they want to stay in my head. The opening scene is particularly dull and uninspirational. I very much doubt I can end up with a usuable storyline, nor will I be able to pull off the setting I have in mind and, oh yeah, it's light SF. Like they're really selling at the moment. Haha.

Why am I doing this? Sigh.


On the 29th November, I wrote:


Done, at 151,000 words.

And I am never, ever going to do anything like that again. Remind me next year, OK?

This my daily word count graph.

You can see where I wrote the first one in 5 days (and wake up Friday and thought "Oh, I have to write 13,000 words today").

You can see where I took it easy for a week on the second one, and where I realised if I ramped it up a bit I could make 150K, and where it became a slog just before the end, but the final day was easier.

You see where I "started" number three :(

And you can see where I wrote 10K again today, just because I could. :)
