NaNoWriMo!

Day 1--Well, today is the kick-off for the writing frenzy. I have begun my work and am at about 500 words. I still have a few hours in which to get the count up to par. Off I go to get that done! :D

Day 2--Wrote two and a half pages today. Too tired from work to do more.

Day 3--Ditto per Day Two.

Day 3--Wrote some more, then got onto the Web and put everything into a Word doc, saved and put the word count in my NaNoWriMo account. Progress!

Day 4--Wrote about a page and a half.

Day 5--Way too tired to do any writing at all. :(

Day 6--A better day of it all around. Write some more plus got some quotes for my nonfiction book, then went to the Library to spend some time in the writing group there. I was impressed to see it was made up of very yopung writers, the youngest novelist appears to be about nine or ten. I learned that the adult group meets in the evening on Sundays and also on Tuesday and Thursday at a couple of local coffee shops, so I got online, updated the Word doc and updated my word count. I'm at nearly 3,000 words right now, but with the writing group I think I will make better headway.

Day 7--Got some writing done; I'm nearing the end of the first chapter. I'll have some time tonight to get the next scene done and after that one or two more scenes and I'm on to Chapter 2! Also got more research done for the non-fiction piece. :)
