NaNo: Past Halfway
November 9th, 2004 Posted in WritingWell, I crossed the halfway point today. And not just crossed it, but sailed right on by and kept going. I racked up 4,777 words today, almost 3,000 of them at Barnes & Noble this evening as part of my first writing expedition.
It took me a while to get acclimated and find out where I was in the story (I actually had to read the entire length of what I’d written this morning to figure out where I was going — and saw lots of mistakes — sorry about that). But once I got going, and plugged in my iPod, it was great. I probably looked like a dork typing away and occassionally nodding my head and mouthing the words, but that’s okay.
A day of output like this in week two is pretty incredible. I’m also pleased with the little narrative twist I worked in this morning, especially since I had no idea where I was going to go. But as usual, the story knows where it needs to go.
