NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month - aka 'write 50,000 words in 30 days' - aka 'ARGH AM I INSANE?'

And so we come to the end. I really didn't get a lot written today as I spent a lot of it catching up on TV from the weekend and reading the script I have of the film I'm using for my reel-tw fic. I do have a pretty good idea of where the rest of this fic is going now.

But I did do the important thing, and reached the target of 60k that I set for myself when I made it to 50k last week.

In the end, I had a great time over the month, and I discovered that I can write a heck of a lot more than I ever thought I could in a month! Until this month, a day where I wrote 600 words was a 'good' writing day. After doing this, well, I considered today a 'bad' day and I wrote over 1000.

I proved to myself that I could do it, and I WON! I haven't decided yet if the original fic will be edited and eventually posted or not - if it IS ever posted it will be on a limited filter on my flist.

Today was the end of a very long week, so I'm actually a little amazed I got as much writing done as I did even. And of course, STILL working out the actual plot details of reel_tw fic. Won't get any writing done whatsoever tomorrow, as am quite literally out all day. But should still be okay to meet my 60k-by-midnight-on-30th target :)

Word counts are what is given in MS Word - for some reason if I used the 'word count verifier' on the NaNo site I get more! (Currently makes a difference of nearly 400 words!)

I think I'd forgotten how much harder it is to write a lot of words in a day when I'm writing something that I DO actually intend people to read! Plus I'm still working out a lot of my plot for my reel_torchwood fic, deciding which bits of the movie to emulate and which bits to leave out altogether, etc...

Still, I wrote more than the daily target, so that's all okay in the end...

I've been really stressed today by work, cos I have a huge presentation tomorrow morning, and I was pretty tired too - combined with the fact that I knew I had already reached the 50k, my brain wasn't really so motivated to write a lot today.

But on the plus side, I got a start made on my reel_torchwood fic, finally.

Went over to visit morbid_sparks today and meet her new kitten, so writing time I guess was cut down a bit (for a very good reason!) but still managed to write a decent amount. If I do reeeeeally well tomorrow I might manage to make it to 50k. Hopefully Monday otherwise.

Another near disaster today. Just couldn't think of what to write at all, so I'm fairly sure today's chapter is even more craptastic than most of the rest of the novel, but it's written, so *shrug*. Still managed to eventually make it to 2000, but only just - was writing right up to the line.

Managed to write much more today than I did yesterday, thankfully. Made up the deficit from yesterday, and I'm back to being five days ahead of pace. Want to get to 50k by early next week, if I can.

Today just somehow got very busy, cutting seriously into my planned writing time. So I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped, but I did still make my 2k-a-day... just. I'm still well ahead though, so not panicking yet.

Today until about 9.30-10pm was another one that looked like it could be a disaster, only about 7-800 words written to that point. And then, once again, that 2k-by-midnight deadline kicked in and I got there :) I'm also officially more than 4 days ahead of the pace, which is nice to know (day 17 pace is 28333)

Nothing really interesting today... managed to write fairly steadily once I got home. I made it past my goal of the day 14 target (23,333) so I'm pretty happy.
