NaNo Progress Report #2

It’s been a decent first week.

I wrote 2000+ words on six of the eight days. The widget at right shows how many days I’ve written 1667, which is the daily NaNo standard for finishing by Nov. 30th. My standard is 1852, which gives me three days off during the month. I only fell beneath 1667 once, on Monday (1207 words).  I’ve been writing in the evening for the most part, but I could not get anything going on Monday and didn’t get started until 9pm. I stayed up and wrote Tuesday’s first 1000 after midnight. Considering that I had league on Tuesday night, I thought it would be my short day.

Current word count is 15,419. That’s slightly above today’s NaNo standard and 1250 behind my standard.

Story-wise, things are going alright. I’m at the end of the first part of the story. I’ll need to do a little research this afternoon about the next bit. I’ll probably flounder around a little until I puzzle out the details. Eric read a couple nights ago, but I made it clear that I didn’t really want to talk about the story. He’s held his comments to the positive aside from noting that it’s full of typos.

Haven’t felt like reading/blogging at all. I did finish up Dark Water and should have a review of that next week. I’ll also have a run down of the huge pile of loot I won from the Bloggers Dressed in Blood blog hop. It’s epic. Today, we’re planning on seeing Skyfall. Tomorrow is ultimate frisbee league finals from 10am until 6pm-ish. Eric’s team looks good to go to semis, maybe finals. Even though it’s going to be “cold” tomorrow, I’ll probably end up playing, drinking, and socializing long enough to be exhausted by the time we get home. I have 0 words planned for tomorrow.
