<\/a><\/p>\nAre you vomiting words onto the page on a daily basis? That’s a good way to put it since to succeed at getting 50K words at the end of November, you have to write 1667 words per day.<\/p>\n
If your project was outlined in advance, this second week may have flowed as easily as the first one. Or maybe not.<\/p>\n
My NaNo project wasn’t outlined and for the most part the words have flowed well throughout these past fourteen days.<\/p>\n
At the end of week 1, I had 7207 words (less the 1301 I started the month with).<\/p>\n
Yesterday after finishing week 2, my count was up to 15,010. So I’ve added another 7803 words!<\/p>\n
Okay, I’m not going to set any great records with my writing speed but the project I’m working on is a novella and according to word length charts, they’re between 17,500 and 40,000 words.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I found myself editing some of my previous work. I hear you gasp since editing isn’t supposed to happen until December 1st at the earliest. Most of said editing was cutting and pasting so the only thing that was affected was the length of time I could actually spend writing.<\/p>\n
How are you managing at the end of a full two weeks of NaNoWriMo? Are you still ‘feeling the love’? What are your tricks for staying motivated?<\/p>\n
