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!

5,850 for me (1,717 today, although I wound up putting an extra and arguably extraneous paragraph to manage it). Slow and steady... (The good news was that took less than an hour, which is better than I'd hoped. In theory I probably could get some more words in later on today, but I tend to do better by just matching my targets.

How's yours going? Thanks so much for making these posts - they're really helpful!

Thanks! It's always good to hear! ^__^ Sometimes I worry that the posts may be annoying/nagging/(or worse).

Your word count is great! And you know what they say about slow and steady. Don't fret about what's "extra" or "extraneous" now. That's for later, right? Everything goes into the stew in November! You never know, some "extra" bit may actually give your story an interesting twist or flavor to consider later.

And my story so far is going pretty well (knocks on wood) for me this year, thank you for asking! Today I get to stage a Murder-Most-Foul... it should be fun!
