NaNo–Day 22
Whew. I made it to 37,756 words. My characters experienced the novel’s ending, which I have been itching to write but put off. Now with the end in sight, let’s see what else can happen in the novel’s middle.
NaNo–Day 19
I have 31,935 words so far. And with an updated list of scenes to write, I am ready to tackle the last ten days of NaNoWriMo 2012.
NaNo–Day 17
Winter Wheat was amazing! All of the sessions I attended inspired new poems and conflicts for my NaNo novel. I’m at 26,660 words, but I will catch up. We watched this video.

I have hit the halfway mark. Today I made it to 25264 words. Whew. And it’s nice to make it to 25 thousand words before November 15.

NaNo–Day 8
I am now at 14,235 words. Yesterday was a slow day. I am still reeling from the writing session on Sunday because it was amazing. And now all I have to do is top it! And a note to my future self: do as many of the chores as possible before NaNo. Laundry, recyclable items, …
NaNo–Day 6
