NaNoWriMo 2011 - Day 26

Day 26 - 4 days remaining

If all feels hopeless, if that famous 'inspiration' will not come, write.
If you are a genius, you'll make your own rules, but if not - and the odds
are against it - go to your desk no matter what your mood,
face the icy challenge of the paper - write.

— J. B. Priestly



Our last weekend Nano Writer! And four days left until the end of the NNWM challenge. This is it. This is the time to sit down and write! This is the time to help your protagonist meet his or her most awful moment head on and conquer all challenges that keep your main character from achieving his or her heart’s desire. This is the time to catch up on your word count and perhaps surge ahead to the finish line. This is the time, Nano Writer, and I know that you can do it!

Today’s word count is 43,342. Questions? Comments? Can you see the end? It’s there! You just need to Keep Writing!

MADE IT. 60,008! in and validated before midnight, too, so I got there on day 26 OFFICIALLY instead of my own before-I-sleep-the-day-still-continues variant. XD Moving from ywriter to the full text gave me an extra 400 words according to word (ywriter doesn't count chapter titles or scene labels), and the validator gave me another 200, so I'm on 60,643, apparently!

and - and, hmm. I think I should possibly go finish book one now. XD;;;

(Oh, and that pesky 'study for JLPT next sunday' too. Level two is going to kill meeeeee D:)

Then back to this one, and I will be holding tight to that KEEP WRITING thing to plow through the rest of it. XD

Sure technically it's 27 minutes past midnight by the time zone I'm in right now, but it's still the 26th in my home time zone! ;)

48,155 by the word count validator. 48,340 by Scrivener. That 200 word gap is tricky! But I should be on track to finish on the plane tomorrow. I'm halfway through the big climactic scene, which is sort of turning into the heroine really finding she understands the villain a bit too well, but I can always make it more tense later. The end is in sight, both of the draft and the wordcount! (The wordcount will very definitely get there first.)
