NaNoWriMo 2020 Report: Rambling on Toward the End

Final word count:  50,266

Words this week:  6,039

Average words per day:  3,020

According to my records, this is the second largest word count completed during the last two days since the first year I did NaNoWriMo — and that year I did more words on the last day than I did during the last two days this year. (We don’t talk about that year …)

The story finally has a plot (of some kind), but it’s kind of dancing around what should be it’s big reveal because, honestly, I don’t know how I want that to play out. There are so many clichés I want to avoid there. But, I did (astonishingly) achieve more than 50,000 words on what was originally intended to be a 10,000-word short story. I guess that’s what happens if you keep playing “What if?” as you go along.

Fun fact: Over the weekend, my keyboard decided that every time I typed “v” that I needed two of them. I was not, of course, going to swap it out for a new keyboard during the final weekend, so I managed. It’s amazing, though, how often you use the “V” key — especially when you do a lot of copying and pasting using the keyboard (nearly everything got pasted in twice).

Until next year (at least for this!) &hellips; Write on!
