This morning I crossed the 30,000 word mark. I’m excited. This is the highest number of words I’ve reached in three attempts. I’m not done either.
This puts me ahead of the curve. Much better than either of the previous years.
Blue lines represent the word count you’d have if you divided the 50,000 words up over the 30 days equally. As you can see, I’m not doing that.
My personal goal is to be done before Thanksgiving eve. I’m planning on traveling starting that Wednesday evening and be busy for the next few days. That will certainly decrease the opportunity to write.
How am I doing it? I’m giving myself some isolate time to write nearly every day. Only one day did I miss writing. I’m also seeking daily encouragement from others. The flip side to getting that? Give out a ton of it.
According to a recent pep talk, it gets easier after 30,000 words. I don’t know about that, but I’m pumped up to go the distance. Please consider cheering me on, donating Diet Pepsi products, writing a blog post about me and my story, or something else.
For those choosing to write about me and my story, I’ll send you the text to date and you can excerpt it. Heck, monetary donations would be nice as well, but please make those at nanowrimo.org, under donations.
Cheers to my #nanowrimo twitter family, especially those in St. Louis.
I’m tojosan on nanowrimo.org. Find me. Buddy up.
