Day 19 — 27,007
Two thousand and one words. That’s all there’s going to be tonight, but some interesting ideas got added to the outline tonight. I can only wonder what will be revealed tomorrow night.

Half way. I needed to get to 30k today, but I didn’t make it. Five thousand words in one day is a lot for me, so I can’t complain. For me to complete more than eleven thousand words in a weekend is quite an accomplishment. Unfortunately, I have to average … Continue reading →
Day 17 — 20,067
Made it to today’s goal. Tomorrow, to get back on track, I’ll have to hit 30k. I’m going to give it my best shot. I was working pretty steadily today to get the 6632 words. Ten thousand will be a little tougher. If I can at least get close, I … Continue reading →
Day 17b — 18,255
They’ve been pouring out — lots of sewage, I’m afraid, but that judgment comes later. They’re slowing to a trickle now, but I’m going to try to coax enough out to get to at least 20k today. 4820 is good so far.

It’s a nice even number. It’s more than yesterday.

I’m a few hundred words short for a “good” NaNo day, but I made good progress today. It’s certainly better than some earlier days. For the moment, the working title has absolutely nothing to do with where this story is at. I’ll worry about that later. I have to get … Continue reading →
Day 13 — 11,738
Lousy day at work, but I had a fluid writing night tonight. I got just over the “NaNo minimum” at 1720, but given that’s the first time words have flowed since the 1st, I’ll be happy with that. Weeknights are difficult to get many more words on anyway.

I barely cracked 10k today. Ugh.
