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.

It’s back!

I’m of college/work today, my sinuses are really bad coupled with some cold/flu thing that Ruth has lovingly passed on, so I am taking some time to rest hoping that it won’t get much worse.

I am trying to dodge time on the computer today, but giving BBC’s iPlayer a chance I have happily found that Screenwipe with Charlie Brooker is back for a fourth series.

If you have never seen Screenwipe I would heartily advise you to give it a try.  Although it is a bit sweary and definately not safe for work (depending, of course, where you work).

And watching it is a welcome break from thinking about NaNoWriMo.

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!!!)
