According to my NaNoWriMo profile, last year’s novel hit the wall on day 6 at 7281 words. Today is day 4 and I am past the 10,000-word mark. And I’m not losing steam…yet. I’m pretty convinced that I’m gonna make the 50k mark ahead of schedule. And I’m pretty convinced that this will be a sellable novel, though it will surely take some serious revision after thewords “the end”. I’m comfortable with that. It’s just nice to see the story — and moreover, the characters — taking shape on the page.
I’m planning to maintain a minimum target of 2000 words a day. I missed it yesterday, but that was because midnight hit in the middle of a writing session. Here’s hoping that life behaves itself and stays the heck out of my way for a while.
