NaNoWriMo Days 5, 6, & 7

Well, on Day 5 I woke up early like I normally do and only wrote about 300 words in 45 minutes - not good! So I used Write or Die to catch up. On Day 6 (yesterday) I passed the 10k mark and my mermaid, Nerin, met the human, Richard. Finally!! So far, that was worth getting up early to write. Today, I am just a few hundred words from my goal and I passed the 11k mark. I am hoping to get ahead tonight and tomorrow. :D Just 39,000 words to go...

NaNoWriMo Day 4

Well, the sun is coming up and I have already reached today's word count: 6,667 words. I have actually just barely passed that with a total of 6,811 words. How did I manage that in only 45 minutes? I was able to use a really cool program called Write or Die and it helped me finish up my writing session this morning. Here's a badge from their site:



It doesn't seem like 700 is that many words (and it really isn't compared to a novel) but I knew that I had to get them written this morning before 7 in order to stay on track. And I did it! I literally finished at 6:59. :D

NaNoWriMo Day 3

Yes, it is nearly the end of day 3. Right now I am supposed to have 5,000 words written. I have written 5,681 words! I am really glad I am making the minimum and I think my story is coming along well too. I will try to post an excerpt this week or next. :)

NaNoWriMo Day 2

Here is a link to my NaNoWriMo account: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/308609

Check it out to track my daily word count :)

So far in Day 2 I am ahead in word count! I am got up at 6 this morning to write for an hour and I plan on waking up at 6 almost every morning to write.

NaNoWriMo Day 1

So, today is the first day of NaNoWriMo. Mom took me to the San Antonio's first NaNoWriMo event this year at Jim's and we stayed until just after midnight. However, we didn't bring a laptop so we went home once everyone started writing. Once we got home about 12:20 am I started on my novel. I wrote about 900 words, went to bed, and then passed the 1,667 word mark before church. (The minimum word count per day is 1,667 words). Now I am about to take a break and get back to it. I want to get ahead now to make the rest of the month easier. :D

Here is a pic of me and San Antonio's ML Toggy (and yes, I am wearing a unicorn hat):
