15,184 after day 5. Phew!

I'm trying to build up a big word cushion in anticipation of having to take time off the novel later in the month, since I'm expecting publisher edits.

Though I did just order myself a Chromebook top replace my finally dead netbook. So in the second half of the month I will be able to carry that around and get some words sneaked in at lunchtimes. W00t! Even if I only get 500, 600 words those days it keeps me in touch with the story.

16K today, and it's eight in the morning. Will try to write another 1K during the day... And, of course, planning a writing marathon over the weekend and try to beat 30K to next week.

I'm upto 8636 after starting afresh.

Yesterday was basically a massive catch up for me so I've got 24 more days to keep going.

9527... still on track, but it's going so well that I wish I had more time each day to keep writing.

This was so much easier before I became a parent! (Not that I would go back, of course. :D )

Tonight's not looking good. I have a ridiculously early meeting tomorrow, so I can't stay up as late as usual :rant:

Just hit 10,000! This is *massive* for me. Can't believe we're a fifth of the way there already - I'm starting to actually believe that I can do this.

:hooray:

Hit my wordcount goal early on, then had a chat w/ a friend about how unmotivated I was feeling... and so he got me to tell him my plot, and he kinda picked it apart and pointed out what was wrong with it. Which would be great, if I could just figure out how to fix it... :/

Anyway, if anyone feels like doing some plot doctoring, I have a thread up here.
