10k words in 3 days!

Not bad going, I reckon!

Going to celebrate with a bottle of J2O now that I'm already a fifth of the way to winning NaNo!

Right on track to hit 10k today

Today is the 3rd day of NaNo and I've already written 8k with 10k being the plan for the end of today.

The NaNo site estimates that if I keep on like this, I'll be finished by the 19th which will be totally awesome and the quickest I've completed NaNo in during the last 6 years!

Yay me!

3k written today

Considering I didn't really start until after lunch, then had computer problems half way through Chapter 7 that forced me to reboot.

Seven thousand words in two days is something to be proud of I reckon!

Just over 4k words written in 8 hours

Today is the start of NaNo and I've already written the first 4k words in almost 8 hours so it was easier than I was expecting.

I'm having my hair cut on 14th November morning so will only be able to write a couple of thousand words when I get home from that and I'm hoping to meet up with C before the end of NaNo so will only be able to write another 2k then but I'm on track to finish before 20th November which will give me 10 days to get out of David's head and back into my own ready for the end of November.

Waiting for my email to back up, then I can turn off the laptop and have a cooked tea hopefully.  I've stopped writing for the day now, so it's just the backing up and checking my email until tomorrow when I'll check my email again and set the last bit of backing up going while I write the next 4k words to make me 2 days ahead of schedule so I can have the hair cutting and meeting up with C totally off from writing.

Just asked my usual word count question on SCBWI

Just before I start writing a new MS, I usually ask how many words to aim for in it.

A little while ago I asked and someone pointed me to this site that had them all written down for me.

Silly me forgot where I saved the URL to so I asked on SCBWI if anyone could point me in the right direction and one of the members there pointed me to wordcount-dracular page which I looked at and I now know that 'Kiss your cares away' (my NaNo novel) will be 50k words long and 1k words per chapter.

That being said, it means that I have to write 2 chapters a day at the very least, but I'm hoping to write 4 chapters as often as I can during November, then I'll have December off and write 'Don't bother' in January 2017 and take it from there!

Maverick rejected my MS this afternoon, so...

Maverick rejected a MS that I sent them back in August, so I've just sent Disability Roolz and 4 PB's to United Agents.  It's another one I can mark off, got another 24 left so it'll keep me going for a while!

Found the novel I thought I'd lost

It's a novella called 'kiss your cares away' - I was getting confuzzled between that one and my post NaNo novel that I've only planned out so far.  I can stop getting flustered about it now!  Yay!
