The day 8 cumulative total is 21,556 words.  That leaves 28,444 words to meet the goal for November.  I’m 1,921 words short of being on track today for Backward NaNo. This means if I want to be caught up by tomorrow, I’ll need to write 4333 words.  I’m slowly whittling down my “deficit.”  I’m 8,220 words ahead of traditional NaNo goal words.  I’m not too worried about being “behind.”
