Week One of NaNoWriMo 2024

50,000 words in 30 days, the National November Writing Month Challenge, that is 1666-1667 words a day for the full thirty days. I did it last year, I am attempting to do it again. Last year I had 29 days with the correct word count. This time I am going for thirty. It had a rough and rocky start with no flow or new ideas but after brainstorming, time lining and planning, I managed to write the first 7 days. The first 6 days was one chapter of my project novel. Today I started the next chapter, my plan is to write 10,000 words for each chapter. It will interesting to see where my writing takes me both physically and hypothetically.

7 Days in a Row

The hardest part of the challenge is making sure you remember to keep track of your word count. I am glad to use Scrivener, which allows me to break down the chapter into parts or my writing into sections.
