Probably my best day so far in NaNoWriMo, this year or last. Actually, it most definitely was my best. I will sleep incredibly well tonight and spend almost all of tomorrow plotting, since only a little bit of writing's needed. Actually, none would be needed for 2 days if I was sticking to the 50k goal, but from almost day one, this story has been yelling at me that it wants to be 70k words, so I guess it's my job to give it what it wants.
So, besides finishing the 2,090 word chapter one today, I also finished the 2,919 word chapter two today. I sense a pattern in my word counts. Anyway, that leaves 8 words that are the title to chapter three.
Which gives me a final day one word count of.... drumroll... 5,017 words. Which is just so incredible, I can't comprehend it.
The spreadsheet that I'm using to keep track tells me that I'm 10% complete with a 50k word novel, because I haven't adjusted it to 70k yet, and I may never. Or at least not even think about it until I can plot further than the chapter I'm going to be writing tomorrow.
Anyway, with Tokio Hotel and The Hush Sound, along with Sing It Loud and 30 Seconds To Mars for the final portion of my writing today, it's been a great day in all aspects of NaNo, especially candy, but not particularly in the respects of the NaNo site loading.
I can't recall what part of November it was before they started slowing to manageable last year either, eh.
I got my first Chris Baty, encouraging email today.
And I have submitted a voice clip to WriMoRadio, which I'll probably do every week this year.
