Well, this week has been fairly productive on the NaNo front. To reach my personal goals that I set for myself, I need to be at 20,524 words by the end of Sunday. With my current word count of 16,740, that leaves me with just 3,784 more words to go! And considering that my goal for just Saturday is 5,000 words, I think I will make it!
The hardest part about NaNo this week has been wanting to go back and look through what I've already typed. There are a few scenes that I feel are just not very good at all. But I refuse to work backwards! I will stand strong, and I will avoid my inner editor! (One of the NaNo pep talks warned about the inner editor who tries to take over in week 2!) I will keep plugging away in a forward direction!
I have been doing some 15-minute word wars over the last couple of days, too. How this works is you just type for the allotted time-in this case 15 minutes-and see how much you can get typed in that amount of time. Then you post your words for the other word war participants to see. So far, I have yet to get up to 500 words in 15 minutes, but that is my goal to work for this weekend.
Until next time...
