Day 15 Expected target : 25005 (rounded up)

Day 15 Actual wordcount : 27183

So, what stopped me from getting to 30k tonight?

That would be chinese food.  Ah, lovely.

But 27k is a fine number to finish the day with.  And there will be more tomorrow.

Day 15 Expected target : 25005 (rounded up)

Day 15 Actual wordcount :26685 (so far)

I’m in Mono in Glasgow and i’ve reached my word count for tomorrow.  Man, I’m tired.

A good bunch of the NaNo regulars are here, like Alan, Elise and Remote Push among others and generally, apart from the crazy people around us, it had been a successful day.

I’m going shortly, for a nice relaxing evening of curry and more writing… 

If I push it I could reach 30k by the end of the night, but that might be a bit too much.  Never know though, the act of going home and getting back to the relative comfort of my computer chair might be enough for me to charge forward with it.

I’ll see… 

(and 26685 words means i am over half way… Whoo!!!)

Day 10 Expected target : 16670 (rounded up)

Day 10 Actual wordcount : 16490

Fail.

Talk about hitting the wall.

I was away this weekend, against my better judgement, knowing that time away from the writing and being in a stressed environment (which it was for a while) would not be condusive to writing.  I hate to think I was right.

I’ve written about 250 words since arrivng back at the flat yesterday afternoon.  I’m looking at my notes and I’m looking at my work i have produced so far and I’m getting nothing.

That’s a shame.

Hopefully it is a blip.

Hopefully.

Day 5 Expected target : 8335 (rounded up)

Day 5 Actual wordcount : 12141

Day 6 Expected target : 10002 (rounded up)

Day 6 Actual wordcount : 12770

Ooh, it’s a struggle.  Last night was good, I made 2k easily but tonight was another story entirely.

It was a struggle to get what I had written done.  And that’s me.  There’s no point banging the words in and getting depressed about it.   Better quit while I’m still feeling up about everything and pick it up later.

I’m away this weekend so there may not be any kind of update until the end of Sunday, and I’m not sure what is going to get done words wise.  Still, I have breathing room, hopefully I won’t fall behind too badly.

Day 3 Expected target : 5001 (rounded up)

Day 3 Actual wordcount : 8010

Day 4 Expected target : 6668 (rounded up)

Day 4 Actual wordcount : 10010

Yeah!  Come on!

Today was a tough day, there’s no denying that but I did manage to dig past the pain and bash those words into place.

I can’t say much for the quality, but that’s what the editing process is for.

Content first, editing later.  That’s that name of the game this year.

At some point, when I have the time I’m going to go over particular problems I’m having at this stage.  But later, much later as i’m all written out today.

Oh and before I forget, I’m 10% though the project and it’s only day four!

Expected target : 1667

Actual wordcount : 3929

Whoo!  I’ve done well.  Very well in fact.

I can’t say much for the quality of the work but that’s not important, the wordcount is high.

And the meet ups are cool, writing with other like minded folk works really well.  And they’re a cool bunch.

More writing fun tomorrow.

It’s not long after 4pm and I’m currently sitting in the 13th Note in Glasgow hard at work on this years project.  There are about ten of us left and it’s been  quite the communal writing experience.

So far i’m on 3162 words and going strong.

Actually that’s a big fib.  I’m starting to flag.  but 3162 is a fine first day count.

Anyway, back to the grind.

AAARRGH!!!

Didn’t get the Deathwing Terminators finished. 

Did get housework done, some work on The Fracture and a few key upgrades to the site. 

So an overall success.

Got a meeting with fellow NaNoers tonight.  A pre-NaNo meet.  I’m quite excited.

And I bought the wife flowers today because of a top class image she’s done for the site (which isn’t up yet).
