NaNoWriMo 2009 #3
I wish I could claim that I’ve done nothing but write for the past 16 days and am therefore miles ahead on my NaNovel (like last year), but alas, it’s not the case.
I’ve had a pretty crummy start to November, in fact, with several days when I didn’t write at all… but then I think I have mitigating circumstances in the facts that my friend’s house flooded mid-way through the first week of NaNo (not on the day I posted later, but a few days later), and then I had to fly home to Wales for my Gran’s funeral.
The strange thing about this November though is that I haven’t actually been tempted at all to give up completely on NaNoWriMo this year, despite having some pretty good excuses. I have bailed on a couple of write-ins, and I haven’t managed my daily goals very often, but with the knowledge that I’ve done (and surpassed) 50k in previous years, I’ve always been convinced that I’ll make it.
And I’m still convinced.
So here’s to a goal of 21,500 words by midnight tonight, which will put me 6,833 words behind, but still perfectly positioned to get caught up.

I’m a bit jealous. While Carrie was away I printed out an up-to-date copy of my own work in progress (about 23000 words) and hoped I could get back into it but I didn’t have the energy. The good news was that what’s there reads quite well and won’t need much editing just my usual padding.
Keep up the good work.

You can do it. And, even if you didn’t, what you will get done will be valuable. So push… push.
