NaNo Day 19: 43,825/50,000
I didn’t get started until late tonight, but fortunately, with backward NaNo, that works just fine. I only needed 1264 words today, and I managed to get 1785, bringing my cumulative total to 43,825. Less than 7,000 words to go until I cross the finish line.

NaNo Day 18: 42,040/50,000
I’m closing in on the end. I’m projected to finish November 21st. Not the earliest I’ve finished, but it leaves me a comfortable margin.

NaNo day 13: 34,564/50,000
It’s early, and I’ve met today’s cumulative goal, so I’m shutting down for the day. 34,564 words cumulatively completed. Only 15,436 to go to “win.” In other news, I picked up a cat trap today. When I stopped at the vet, she loaned me their trap on the odd chance … Continue reading →
