Day 3 - 27 days remaining

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

- Toni Morrison



A good writing day, Nano Writer?

First, I would like to welcome all the brand new members that have come on board since Sunday to the Nano Writers Community! This month we're running in NaNoWriMo mode (see this post) so I'll wish you good luck and leave you to it!

Today the number to beat is 5,000. What was the first thing your protagonist said today? Excerpts? Concerns? Questions? Hugs?

Remember to keep writing, Nano Writer!

Hmm, first thing my protagonist said today:

"Out of all the people I’d expect to be here today, you were not one of them."

My MC's a spy, and has had to infiltrate a sporting event (sounds better than it is :P). The intention was for him to qualify for the next round, but managed to be goaded by a fellow competitor and trashed the competiton. This comment is to a co-worker when he returns to his organization's building, and he proceeds to get torn a new one by said co-worker.

Total word count: 9,441, of which 3,191 were written today. I seem to be seeing a pattern: no matter how long I actually spend in front of the computer, I still average the same amount of words.

A fantastic word count! Oh, a spy! Your setup sounds fun - for the reader anyway (I suspect your protag has a different opinion after said words from his co-worker). And patterns are good - you can better organize your writing days.

Thanks - I can't take all the credit, I'm doing a re-write (extended scenes, more characters/deeper characterization, and more) of an almost-decade old TV show.

Patterns are definitely good -- despite having gone to see a movie, I'm still confident I can write another 3k words today :)
