This is going much better than I had hoped for. Though, one of my characters, I just cannot stand.

That's awesome. I'm having a hard time writing. Between me and my middle son sick and everything, I've hardly written anything.

Hope everyone is doing well with NaNO.

I am nearly at the 25k mark also, should have been there on thursday but I was struck down with illness and have only written 700words in 3 days. *sighs*

Two tips that I will pass along: if you have a NaNO write in group in your area (look at the regions) then GO! great way to get over any issue you might be having and getting advice from the NaNO alumni is very helpful.

                                            : Plan to sit down and write 500 words, once that is done try for another 500 words. For some reason this really helps me get alot done (8k in one day is my best so far this NaNO). I think 500 words is a goal anyone can reach once sitting down to write and dont move until it is done. Do that twice and thats 1k written, 3 times and its a great total for the day.

Good luck to everyone

if you want to add me as a NaNO buddy my log ins are

xenacat    (my mystyer novel around 6k)

xengab  (my fantasy around 25k)

How is everyone doing?

 

I'm hoping to finish today. I have almost 43k, so it will be a bit of of a stretch.
