NaNoWriMo 2023: Day Thirteen

Well, today was a slightly better. I was able to get a couple of pages worth of writing done on the novel. I got 524 words and advanced a chapter forward a bit. So, it was a win. I'll take it.

Interesting to say this now, but I probably shouldn't have tried to do National Novel Writing Month this year. However, now that I've already begun, it would probably be worse to quit now. I'm nearly 10,000 words behind where I should be at this point in November, so my word counts have to be much higher if I have any chance of hitting 50k by November 30th. 

I'm stewing on this information. Trying to be real with myself too. I've miscalculated things before, so this isn't new territory. It's led to missed goals and failures to finish books in past attempts. 

I'd like to break the cycle this time. 

Wish me luck.

NaNoWriMo 2023: Day Twelve

A short one because I didn't write a word today. It was a bit of a rough one honestly.

So yeah, 0 words written

Let's see how tomorrow goes.

NaNoWriMo 2023: Day Eleven

Back again with the daily update. Well, on this chilly Saturday, I was found myself away from the house and hence the desk for a good portion of the day. As a result, I wasn't able to do much on the novel. 

I did add just over a page to the book manuscript or a total of 323 words

I'm not going to promise I will accomplish more tomorrow. I'll see what happens. Weekends can be a weak proposition for writing normally. We will see.

Catch ya later, folks.

NaNoWriMo 2023: Day Ten

Well, today I finally got back to the book and added a couple of pages to the manuscript. In other words, I added 532 words to the book, so I got a start on a new chapter. I'll take that and am glad for a return. 

I will have to see how much I can get written tomorrow. Hopefully, more than today. I need to increase the word counts to get back on track for where I should be in terms of total word count of the project. 

Onward.
