Today has been an okay day regarding words written: I had the whole day off and expected some decent writing to take place, but I only managed 2,560 so far, bringing me to a total of 4,828 (4,856 according to NaNo's validator).

I did, however, spend a good portion of time writing up future scenes: this whole "becoming a registered trainer and get your first pokemon" is taking up a lot more words than I expected -- almost 5k in and my main character has passed her exam, gotten her trainer card, and got a "starter pack" of items from her father (who works at Silph Co., the company that makes all the stuff). I've got three scenes planned out, including one rather long one, so those should do me for tomorrow. I'm hoping -- fingers crossed -- I can get to at least 10k by the end of the weekend as that'll put me at an average of 2.5k words a day.

As for back-ups, I've been emailing it to myself every day so far, so I have daily records of what I've written (all with subject titles so I can easily see which is the most recent version, although I am currently on v3 as I emailed myself yesterday morning and again at about 5). I'm not worried about keeping it private as it's fanfiction.

A great word count nonetheless! And high-fives for outlining/planning! I've got my fingers crossed for you too that you hit that 10K!
