NaNoWriMo Word Count Day Two: 2,592

No, this isn’t the word count I was striving for, but it’s something. Life has yet to bend to my will and allow me uninterrupted writing time. Life didn’t get the memo apparently. Go figure.

I have set aside some writing time tomorrow morning and hope by the end of the weekend to have my numbers above where they need to be. I would like to write more than needed each day so if there is a day or two I can’t write, especially around Thanksgiving, I don’t need to freak out. I did this last year and ended with over 71k and within a week of the NaNo finish had the first draft of my novel finished with just under 92k. It’s amazing how the ending of a novel seems to almost write itself. I sincerely hope this is always the case.

Happy Writing!

And So It Begins…NaNoWriMo 2011

Really what more can I say about today? NaNoWriMo begins again and the insane reality of writing a novel in 30 days along with it. With each scribble across the page and tap of fingers across the keyboard we inch closer to the seemingly impossible feat which at this moment lays before us…a finished manuscript…a novel.

I wish luck to anyone attempting this amazing literary feat and hope we all have stocks of coffee, ink, paper and power cords aplenty to see us through the coming month.

Good luck WriMos!!!

What a month it has been! I’ll never look at November the same again, heck, I’ll never look at a single month the same every again…they can change your life. My novel isn’t completely finished, I have some loose ends to tie up and my big ending scene to write, but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far and to all my friends and family that have supported me…Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me follow my dreams.

Day Fifteen NaNoWriMo Word Count: 45,007

Another day of struggle on the NaNoWriMo front…today I spent most of my time on the floor, snuggled up with my with two sick little ones. When the novel is finished and everyone is feeling better, I promised them we would snuggle up on the floor again, stay in our PJ’s all day and have the mother of all movie-fests…minus the pukage it will be a much better day.
