NaNoWriMo Progress Post 3 – Kate

Are you ready for it? NaNo Update of DOOM.

Progress as of Wednesday Night

25931 / 50000 words. 52% done!

If writing daily at an even pace, I am massively behind schedule (including Nov 20th): 1666.7*20 = 33334 words. Therefore, 8K-ish words behind schedule.

The good:

I got my novel into Laura Anne!

The bad:

I am finding it hard to find the voice in my new project. Perhaps I’m judging it too harshly. Just tonight, I stopped and wondered, “Where is the tension? The character perspectives to complicate this?” As a result, I realize I now need to shift the POV of the work from first to third person and add in multiple perspectives because it simply wasn’t working just from my main character’s (who only just got a name that I actually like).

I did not stop, however. I made a long note to myself in the manuscript that I need to go back and fix things. I kept all my words and just kept moving!

The totally beautiful:

I successfully was the Maid of Honour for a wedding on November 16th. I no longer have a really beautiful excuse to not be writing.
