I’ve written 41,191 words on my novel. I’m coming to the end!

I realized a continuity issue yesterday that I plan on fixing today. It’s good stuff.

I have 33,006 words written as of today. I feel like I’m at the end of a marathon that I’ve been sprinting through and I didn’t save any energy for the end. I’ll finish but this is  the struggle.

The novel is coming along great. I’m all done with the first act and almost done with the second act. I’m not writing linear, but I’m not jumping around  that much. 

I finished yesterday at 17,853 words. I’m trying to gain ground, it’s looking more possible to end the story in 32,147 words than it did a couple days ago. I’m sure a major edit I will have is, “The pacing is jarring.”

Good luck to the rest of you!

I’m learning so much from this process. I usually write linear, but with the whole sprint writing of it all, I don’t let myself stare at the screen. If I get stuck I move to another scene. I’m finding it to be useful in story development as well as word count. I also don’t pause my writing to visit time suck websites. 

I finished today at 14,590 words and I’m really happy with them. I was able to write a section that tied the two peices of my first act together. I know I will finish my 50,000 words, my question now is: Will I finish the story in the words I have left? 

Good luck to the rest of you!

Last night I ended at 9057 words. I feel so excited. As someone who has never paid attention to word count before, this is a great learning experience. I’m not writing linearly, which is not super common for me, but the story is coming together.

Making 50,000 words by the 30th of November, seems very possible, but finishing this novel in that many words is starting to look sketchy.

I’d love to know how you guys are doing if you’d like to comment below or buddy me at http://nanowrimo.org/participants/martyvee.

All the best!

I finished yesterday at 5086 words. I wrote about 300 words this morning before work. I’ve been sick, so I’m hoping to have energy to write on my lunch. But I might end up taking a nap. 

I know there are some haters out there for NaNoWriMo, but I’m really enjoying this. I love what I’m writing and haters gonna hate. 

I hope all you snazzy Cats are doing well!
