It doesn't seem like 1600+ words a day for a month would be a lot, but it is when you're under a time crunch.
I occasionally stray to edit, but only a few times. Hey, it's a hard habit to break!
But I do like where my story is headed, and I love my characters, so those are bonuses, right?!
Any other bloggers doing NaNo this year? Care to do a word sprint?
~Have a great week and happy writing!

Good luck with NaNo :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, kindly!
DeleteThat meme is perfect! lol I thought about doing Nano this year, but I'm helping my friend revise & edit her first novel, and I'm still working on my own, so...maybe next year. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
That's nice of you to help your friend!!!
DeleteThat's awesome that you're enjoying your story and liking your characters. I'm still trying to flush them out as I write. But I totally understand the need to want to go back and change/edit as we write. I'm that way too but NaNo is teaching me some hard lessons and trying to break old habits is not that easy. Right now my biggest problem is having strayed from my outline only 5 days into the challenge. EEEEKKK! Good luck with everything Jackie!
ReplyDeleteIt's teaching me hard lessons, too, which is a good thing, but still frustrating.
DeleteWe got this, right, Elise? :)
Your opening paragraph made me feel all Christmasy. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing NaNo, although casually. I'm not going to burn myself out, and if I make the finish line, awesome. If not, I still got a TON of work done, and that's good enough for me. When I put too much pressure on, I clamp up. It's not a big deal to write 2000 words a day if you train your brain, eh?

I don't want to burn myself out either, so that's a great way to view things, Crystal. Thank you! :D
DeleteI've never done NaNo, so I've never experienced the stress of it, but I respect you for doing it. Good luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chrys!
DeleteGood for you! Cheering for you across cyberspace!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Donna!
DeleteYou can do it! I beat NaNo in 2010, and I am the slowest writer out there. So if I can do it, you can do it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Alex! I sure hope I can!
DeleteGood luck! NaNo is definitely a challenge, but you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope so!
DeleteGood luck with NaNo. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cherie! :)
DeleteI find it hard to write even 500 words a day consistently. Good luck with your NaNo project, seems like you are going strong and having fun.
ReplyDeleteI really love the revise poster. How awesome.
I hear ya! Thanks!
DeleteI love that poster, too. :)
Yeah I'm doing Nano this year but I'm writing only about 1000 words a day. According to the site, I need to write 1916 (or something like that) a day to finish on time.
ReplyDeleteI'm behind, too, but I hope to catch up on the weekends! Good luck to you!!!
DeleteOMG Jackie! I didn't know you were doing NaNo this year too! I'm going to have to add you as a friend. Well, actually my alter-ego, lilicasplace, lol is doing it. I'll add you as soon as I sign in tomorrow. Hugs! Eva
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I'll go add you, too!!! <3
