NaNo Update
Nov. 10th, 2006 11:54 pmI'm staying two days ahead of schedule now.
20,916 verified words (21,366 according to EditPad)
The goal is a reasonable 25,000 verified words by midnight Sunday.
Since I don't think I'm anywhere near an end of this story (in fact there are several areas I want to go back and expand upon) I should have enough story to get to 50,000 verified words without any sort of padding.
Other than my hands aching from all the typing (somewhat alleviated by locating my old support gloves) the hardest part of this is not going back to edit things. I may try to squeeze in a mid-story note taking session though since I'm sprouting characters and cultural details and new countries all over hell ever since I crossed the 10,000 mark.
But after 25,000 it's all down hill to the end, right? (Leave me my illusions please.)
