NaNoWriMo 2012 - Day 11

Day 11 - 19 days remaining


Caress your phrase tenderly: it will end by smiling at you.

— Anatole France






Today's word count is 18,337, Nano Writer! We're coming up on the 20k mileage marker - is your story still cruising along the interstate/highway/autobahn or have you hit a speed bump and you're waiting for the muse to arrive with a tow truck?

Hey, it happens. Stuff happens. If your word count isn't what you were hoping for today, don't sweat it. Even the best high performance cars break down and need a little TLC to get back on the road again.

So shift into neutral and spend some time enjoying the scenery. Add some detail to a setting that might be a little bare. Write about how your character might spend a day off from chasing monsters. Get out the roadmap and do a little planning for what lies ahead.

What you don't want to do is give into frustration and doubts and fears because even though some days feel like it's all just one long, unending uphill climb, remember the top of the mountain has the best views and after that, it's all downhill to the finish line.

Questions? Comments? Speeding tickets to tell us about? It's all good - so keep writing!

A solid word count! And what a day! Inspiration seems to have given your writing wings! But it sounds too that your schedule has become tougher. November is a hard month for many writers with school and holidays and work projects... but I like your resolution: to at least get a good start on your story!
