A Book Nerd's Inner Voices

Week 3 and I need a drink

Week 3 of NaNoWriMo is here and I'm not even close. BUT, I have passed 10,000 words with two decently large scenes to add that were previously written but need to be changed for this version, plus a decent ride of inspiration to get my characters into the second act. So HOPEFULLY I will make 15,000 words by the end of the day (it will probably only be 13,000 if I'm lucky, but hey, a girl can dream).





Every year I decide to try this (though this is only the second year I've registered) and every year I underestimate the amount of time and commitment it takes to write that much in just a month with everything else I have going on. This year, I think I'll be happy if I make 25,000 words, which will put me squarely in Act Two and give my characters a lot of momentum to really start heating stuff up.





I'm still trying for the whole shebang, but at this point, any progress on this rewrite is a huge success for me. Either way, I'll be posting what I have at the end of the month for review and hopefully some feedback to keep me going.





Cheers to the writer's life, all. Keep it up. You're all heroes in my book.
