It’s day 1 of NanoWriMo and so far I’ve written 2987 words for four hours of focused work.
Not bad! I’m very happy I spent most of the last week doing layout and plotting the story in point form. This morning when I beheld the blank page I knew exactly where to start. Every word is one closer to 50,000 and to be honest, without meaning to sound arrogant, I think I will blitz this.
Time will tell I guess.
Right now my only real concern is writing late at night on work days. I find it hard to write well when I’m quite tired so I hope to get down larger volumes through the weekends to cater for this.
One thing I will say is I’m very happy with this story, it’s really different and very appealing to me (no spoilers!).
Jase.
Great start Jason. 2987 down only 47013 to go!
Hi Moss,
I’m at 7430 after the third day so 42570 to go…
What’s making the words flow so fast is the hard work I did up front planning everything out, I highly recommend this for a short term large scale project like this.
I can’t wait to see the story develop further (no spoilers!!!) with all the little details I am adding on the fly.
