I’ve begun the editing process and as it has given me a chance to read what I wrote for NaNoWriMo this year I’m more than quite happily surprised at how good it is initially.

Well, that is until I get to the desperate days after the first week when I was just typing any old crap to get the word count up…

Still, the process continues interrupted only by the festive season where I will be too busy eating and drinking more than I know better to…

Oh, dear…

Oh yeah, totally forgot to post my final count for NaNoWriMo 2008.

I had 53950 words!  Not bad, eh?

Nope, not bad at all.

I would talk more but i’m enjoying a cool beer (first Leffe and now Hoegaarden) after a crappy week.

(And my confession is that i have not touched any writing since the end of NaNo, but rest assured I’ll get back to you with The Plan.  Oh yes.)

So, here we are.

My word count is currently 53109 which means I have beaten NaNo for this year.  Result!

But the story is not finished yet.  And that’s my plan for today once I get back from church.  The aim for today is 7k or the end of the story, whatever happens first!

And then it’s time to down the tools and take a few days before returning to finish DoZ book 1.

Ah, the joys.

Day 27 Expected target : 45009 (rounded up)

Day 27 Actual wordcount : 50077! (50030 as read by the NaNoWriMo site counter!)

Yes!

Over fifty thousand works of a novel in twenty seven days!

Of course, I will be finishing the book, 60k in total I reckon, by the end of NaNoWriMo, midnight on Sunday 30th of November.  Hopefully.

Now I am away to drink bad whisky and listen to some Led Zeppelin.  I thank you.

Day 24 Expected target : 40008 (rounded up)

Day  Actual wordcount : 45144!

To put that in a more local context, yesterday I had 40142 wordsand today I have 45144 words!

I’ve had a 5k Day!

Wow!

Unfortunately I can no longer work my hands but I only have 6 days left to do less than 5 thousand words.

Toffee.
