NaNoWriMo: week two
I did, perhaps, underestimate the consequences of taking four days holiday to Barcelona in the middle of NaNoWriMo.
At the worst, I thought that taking a four day break (at 1,667 words a day) out of the 50,000 word writing month would delay me, well, 6,668 words.
But one delay quickly leads to more delays, and now I find myself a slightly more worrying 12,484 words behind where I should be at the half way point. So rather than being at the half-way point, I’m merely half-way to half-way.
Can I make it to 25,000 today? Perhaps. Unlikely. Possibly.
In any rate, it will only happen at all if I start writing. Which I guess I will do… now.
Update: made it to the disappointing but pleasingly round number of 15,070 words. So, 10,000 words off of my goal… but with 14 days to go I’m hoping I can make some of that up. At this rate I need 2,500 a day not to drop behind.
