4 weeks, today is the second last day of National Novel Writing Month and I have written over 48000 words in the last 29 days. I have written at all hours of the day from 8:30 in the morning to 9 p.m. I have written in one session or over two or three. I have only 1660ish words left to write for the final day. The fifth chapter of the novel is almost complete and that is only half of the story or so. The writing process has been crazy, some days draining, other times satisfying. My head hurt some days from the thoughts, other days I was emotional. The whole month of November has been a crazy ride. I am on the final stretch, the last mile (1.035204 miles if each meter was a word).
Today I wrote during wind, rain and thunder. I completed the 1667 words while it poured overhead. With threat of loss of power. I wanted to make sure I completed the goal for today. With one day left, I have done over 30 scenes, each with a different length of words. Every 6 days, I tried a new tactic. I am pleased with my result. When I return to this story, I don’t know but it has started and that is all because of NaNoWriMo.
