After the first week of writing for National Novel Writing Month, the words started to become easier, every 6 days was a chapter. I could visualise the direction of the story, however when it came to a chapter that I wasn’t sure how it was going to start; I wrote the ending first and then worked my way to it. It is now Day 23, I have written over 35000 words, - 37500 - to be precise; exactly 75% of the 50,000. By the end of today I would have written, 38333 which leaves one day left of this chapter. The challenge of keeping the chapters to 10,000 words means I have to be precise with my timeline and don’t deviate from the main points.
Reaching 14 days in a row, 21 days in row eased the pressure a little, since I am over halfway through. The next 7 days, the final week, will be fun to write because, the chapter is a little different to the others.
I have written on buses, trains, at RSLs, at roadside Fish and Chip shop. Some days I write in the morning, others in the afternoon. I have written in small chunks or a whole lot at once.
