The first day of National Novel Writing Month 2014 is just about over and I am off to a good start. With the kick-off party/write-in, where I ate too much, sat next to my writing bestie and kicked butt in a couple word wars, plus the words sprints I did later in the day, I got to 5,500 words.
If I keep up this pace, I will reach my goal of 50,000 on November 10!! hahahaha. That’s what the NaNo chart says when I entered my word count says anyway. The beginning of the month is usually easier for me, so we’ll see how it goes, but I know I can finish. I’m actually worried about whether I have enough scenes left in my book! Since I’m writing the 2nd half of my Dakotashi sequel (so many untitled books for me!), this could be problematic.
The “ticking clock” in this book is not subtle at all. When I started this morning Dakotashi had 4 days left to do what he needed to do. By the end of the day it was 3. Can three days use up 44,500 words? We shall see!
