Clarion Write-a-thon Update, Week 5
33278 / 40000
5 weeks down, one to go! I'm well in advance of my goal for this six weekly period, averaging 6-7000 words a week, from writing 5 days a week. More importantly, I've got the momentum I need to finish my book, and it's been going really well! I've found a weekly (and daily) routine that works for me, the right balance of getting words one, and giving myself thinking time between writing bouts, to sort out the plot and structure of the novel.
I've moved the goalposts a little, in the hopes of giving myself an extra kick this week. I might not quite make 40,000 in the six weeks, but I really want to try.
I'm also inspired enough that I am planning my Nano novel already! If I can do 1000 words a day this comfortably, surely I can do the 1700 necessary to produce a writing total of 50K in a month… right? Right?

If you would like to encourage me over the next six weeks as I retrain myself as a writer and write 30K of my new novel, you can sponsor me at the Clarion Write-a-Thon. No amount too small, all funds raised go towards supporting the Clarion writer's workshop. I also accept encouraging comments, attagirls and anecdotes about your own times of writerfail and writerwin. It's the last week! Eeee.
