NaNo Nov 8

The Clackety-Keyboard is an essential writing tool for my NaNo wrimo journey. I love the sound, the depth of the keys, the push my fingertips have to do…the sound!

Today’s word count. Lower than yesterday and the day before, but it was an emotional write. And I’m in the third act of my mega outline..with bullet points for scenes for tomorrow’s write.

We’ve been breached! Attention! We’ve surpassed the 20,000 word count!

At this rate, sure, I could be done by November 17th. But I won’t be. And that’s okay! I mean, maybe I’ll hit 50,000 words, but there’ll be more writing to be done!

I was writing a very emotional scene. The character was crying, I was crying…and the person working downstairs from me came up to ask if I was ok! Very sweet! I told him I was, that I was crying because I was writing. He stared at me like this was not helpful information. I said, when my characters cry, I cry. It’s the process. And he asked again if I was okay! I am very okay! I told him. I suppose that crying because a character cries is a unique reason to cry. But you feel me, writers, don’t ya?

HAPPY WRITING Y’ALL!
