Very productive day. I might write later tonight. Taking a break for now. 4,205 written today. 55,766 total. I can kind of see how the book will end. Another 20k words?

And I didn't even hit 1K today; sorta lost the story thread, and I'm struggling to find it again. Got up to 42,000 total, and I'm calling it a night. May have to take a day off to rethink it. (Wish I had a day to think it over; relatives keep dragging me all over the place on various errands.)

Now that my sis's wedding is over, I'm looking forward to getting some more writing done and finishing this novel.

50304! Thinking I'll up my goal to 60k for the month and keep going, since I'm nowhere near finishing the story, but still glad to be passed 50k :tongue

Didn't do as much writing over the weekend as I'd hoped (back spasms laid me flat), but I'm still ahead of the NaNo minimum, I think: 40,145 words.

68,557. I'd wrapped up yesterday and posted my word count, then was about to turn in shortly after midnight.

Which was when I got the sudden inspiration to write 1065 words for the new day, sending me to be around 1:30 A.M. An additional 1470 were written on the train to work and during the course of dead air space during The Day Job.

Major revelation: even though one of the main characters is almost 50, his father still calls him "squirt".

Added another 1499 words (I know, right?) for 58,963 before bed. And as much as I really hate being 37 words from crossing a K, I need to sleep on what happens next. I'm not going to get to do my whole climax tonight anyway. So tomorrow (or later today) night is my goal.

70111 this morning, 1015 words in my early morning session. Should have another session later and bring it to 71000. I think I have around 5k worth of story left, which means I'm likely to finish on Saturday.

I just had an 'ah, ha!' moment concerning the ending of my novel.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to add 10k-20k more words in four days instead of being sane and spreading it out into December.

Help! :dire:

Yeah, I know. I'm going to do it anyway. Resistance is futile. :alienzapped:

My goal is to end it today.

Had a lot of inspiration for book 3. I don't know if I'm going to use it all because it's really dark.
