Day 5 - 25 days remaining


Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

— Voltaire







Today's word count is 8,335 Nano Writer! And something to keep in mind: every word counts - even the ones that might seem too big or too small or just not quite right. Remember that you're writing a rough draft this month - it's not suppose to be perfect - but it needs to be written!

Questions? Comments? Funny or weird typos to share? It's all go odd ;-) So keep writing!

I've only written 400 so far today, but my total word count is 15,100. The character that is going to be the antagonist has just appeared for the first time, but there has been no formal introduction yet. At the same time, I'm a bit nervous because I feel like it's rushing along too fast since I'm only at ~15k - I don't want to hit the story's climax so soon! But I also know that there are lots of places right now I have to add backstory to or rewrite, so chances are there's a good 20k or so hidden in places before this part of the story that need to work themselves out, plus I need a bit more character development going on with someone else, so clearly the main point will not yet be occurring.

ETA: Now at 16,400, so I've now met my writing goal for today, too. It's not even 9am yet. *proud sniffles.*

Even 400 words is something to be proud of but it's great that you were able to write even more! A fabulous word count!
