A Writer's Journey With Jeff

NaNoWrimo - Day 5 (start) I'm not going to post my wordcount update every day. I realized that would make for tedious reading. Instead, I'll post when I reach milestone events Today is such a day... this morning I achieved my first 10, 000 words! I figure I should make a minimum of 12, 250 words/week to make the goal of 50, 000 by November 30th. Hopefully, I'll have that minimum beat by Sunday!

NaNoWriMo: Day 2 I got up to 3726 words today. I was hoping for more, but it was a difficult day to stay motivated. Still: 2nd day, and I have nearly 8% of my novel written. That's still pretty good.

NaNoWriMo Update:Day One The day began at 12:01 yesterday. I wrote 715 words before I went to sleep. When I woke in the morning, I got it up to 1036. I didn't get back to it until nearly 6 PM. I barely got another 200 words before I had to stop for a nap. If I hadn't been woken by my phone ringing around 8:20, I'd still be asleep.
Between 9 and 10 I got to within 77 words of the reccommended daily quota, then I made a phone call. I got back to my keyboard around 10:45, and managed to finish up at 2024 words, well over my quota. According to my Excel 'report card', I've written 4% of my novel now.
So despite some procrastination, overall a good day!
