This week was a little rough for me as far as word counts go, but I still got some writing done. My story's flowing pretty well, considering I don't have an outline or anything? I came into this thing so prepared, didn't I?
Anyway, it's time for my weekly update and snippets! This is going to be a pretty brief overview of the week, since I had a hard time keeping up with my word counts and I also failed to write this post as the week went on and therefore there's just not a lot to say. But here it is, anyway!
DAY EIGHT: 1702 WORDS
This day I wrote an important moment in Archlan's life-- or what he thinks is important, anyway. (Who's ever going to tell these characters that they NEVER know what's best for them at the beginning of the story?? It'd be a lot quicker and less painful that way.)
DAY NINE: 24 WORDS
DAY TEN: 20 WORDS
We don't speak of these two days.
DAY ELEVEN: 2113 WORDS
Yay! My highest word count yet!
DAY 12: 567 WORDS
This was a Monday, guys. Don't judge me.
DAY THIRTEEN: 2247 WORDS
Aaand I beat my word count record again! Getting on a roll. ;)
DAY FOURTEEN: 201 WORDS
Aaand the roll stops.
Actually, I was pretty happy with this day because before I went to bed I literally wrote 7 words just so I could say I wrote SOMETHING and then I looked at my word count and remembered I had written a little bit early that morning. So 201 words actually felt like a lot when I was expecting 7. xD
Sorry there were only a couple snippets, but next week I'm hoping I'll have a little more to work with. I'm still determined to catch up on that word count.
That's it for this week! I have high hopes for the next stretch, and I'm feeling pretty good about this novel so far. I hope you guys are too! Also, I just want to say that yes, I want to catch up on the target word count for NaNo, but you SHOULDN'T feel like you're failing if you're behind! I've done three NaNos before this year and I haven't officially "won" a single one, but I still feel like I won because I worked on those stories and got a lot done on each of them. So stay caught up with your word count, or don't stay caught up, but as long as you're writing and enjoying spending time with your story, that's all that matters. Don't pay any attention to me and my crazy goals.
So, guys, are you still surviving NaNo? What's been your highest word count so far? Let's talk about our unruly children (novels) together!
