In the second half of November…
It’s midway through November and its associated writing challenges. NaNoWriMo writers who are on track to finish on the 31st, should have written over 25,000 words by now. NaBloPoMo participants should be on their 17th blog entry.
I’m afraid that my novel writing hasn’t recovered from my trip to Oxford last weekend for the Society of Young Publishers’ careers conference, with the word-count of the new version still languishing at around 12,000. And while this is my 17th blog entry, it’s going to have to be another short one, as I’ve got so many other writing and web projects to get on with this weekend.
Your thoughts
If you’re doing NaNoWriMo or NaBloPoMo or any other writing challenge this month, how’s it going for you? Are you finding it easier or more difficult than expected?
Sadly there are only 30 days in November… we should have written 25,000 words by 15 November and 28,334 words by the end of today. I’m a little behind.
Not being brave enough for NaNoWriMo, I’ve elected to write a new blog post every day instead.
So far it’s going OK; I thought I would struggle with thinking about subject matter but so far I haven’t needed to plumb the depths of “amusing things my cat did today”.
That’s the pit canary, litmus test and distress flare for me. If you see me covering feline antics you know I’ve hit the wall.
