I am still on track at day 18 with 30,786 words down and a bit under 20,000 to go to reach the 50,000 required.
Will the story be finished. I don't think so. It is taking on a life of its own and galloping off into the distance. It is still all pretty one dimensional but now and again a character says something good.
Is NaNoWriMo worth doing? I've never needed motivation to write but finding time is hard. It certainly makes you push on when sleeping seems preferable. And quite simply, story telling is worth doing.
The story I am writing has been in a queue in my head so it has been given a chance to become real. I am determined that the first draft driven along by NaNoWriMo will produce something good in the end. No, better than good; beautiful.
