NaNo Day 12

Maybe I lied when I said this blog would pick up pace during NaNo, but oh well!! Here is my second post. :)

I have, to my utter glee, managed to not get behind all month so far--and we're almost at the half-way mark! We'll see if I manage to, somehow, survive Week 2 with my current track record.

Joelle has her first Narnia party tonight (which people are showing up for right now, so I should probably go downstairs already). Tonight is Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, next week is Prince Caspian, then thanksgiving, then Dawn Treader comes out!! Woot woot!

Anyways, I just did a five minute word war while waiting for the second group to arrive:

Timed Writings

5 Minutes: 296 words.

6 minutes: 277 words

5 minutes: 290 words

5 minutes: 306

5 minutes: 399

10 minutes: 552

With a final word count for the night at 22,051.

A good 3500 words for tonight. Not too shabby! =)

NaNoWriMo Prep!

For those wondering what NaNoWriMo is, it is the abbreviation for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days (the month of November.)

In light of there being very little time until the doomed day falls upon us, Joelle proposed my keeping a tally of my Mountain Dew (+ other miscellaneous sodas and teas and coffees...). We'll see if it is as high as prior years.
