NaNo Day 2: 6,831
My cumulative Day 2 total is 6,831, leaving me 42,169 words left to write. By my calculation, for a successful Day 2 of Backwards NaNo, I needed to write at least 6,562 words. That means I’m comfortable on track. I am pleased. To remain on track for what should be called Front-loaded NaNo (Backwards NaNo has people thinking you start at the ending and work your way back, which, while it would be doable, would, I think, be way harder that beginning to end), I will need to add 3,101 words to that total tomorrow.
Maybe they call it reverse because typically people’s word counts get higher as the month goes on. Falling behind one day can take a week to catch up!
