NaNoWriMo 2009 Day 18

Day 18 - 12 days remaining

I do not like to write - I like to have written.

~ Gloria Steinem



Enough said, am I right?

Today's quotation was submitted by Nano Writer mbeancntr (thanks!)

Of course, one may say that to have written, one must write! And today's word count is another milestone: 30K! How is everyone doing? Excerpts? Questions? Comments?

My last sentence today (which is about midway through the chapter): Most had heard or seen the battle from the day before although the official story was that the fireball had come from Ierne forces across the border.

...which carried me across the 50K mark (and some change) though my protags still have one or two more battles to win before I can really say "I have written." And then it will be time to... (see photo above).

I wrote 2448 words today, which isn't bad but it's not gonna get me to 50,000 by the 30th. I'm almost caught up to where I should be: 12,333/15,000 by the end of day 9/day 17. I need 2897 words a day to finish by the 30th and 1883 to finish by Dec. 9th.

Today was the day I broke 10k! This is not actually an accomplishment; I was only about 55 words away when I shut it down for the night last night.

Congrats on passing 50k! :D

My first: "You look like shit," Michael commented easily as he entered the room, leaning over the back of the couch and kissing the side of Ben's head.
(Yeah, I skipped a BUNCH of in-between stuff)
My last: She reached for Ben's shirt, torn and ragged from his second bout with the disease, and pulled it off over his head.

Which, sadly, will probably be cut, because "Let me wallow in a pit of my self-hate and misery in order to save your lives from an imagined danger!" adds MUCH more to the plot then "I survived, let's screw now!"

Your progress is good! 2897 a day can be tough but it's not that much off from what you've done! Congrats on your 10K! It is most definitely an accomplishment for your story!

I don't know. "I survived, let's screw now!" is very human. But then again so is a good wallow. I guess I would leave it all in and see what happens tomorrow ;-)
