Fifteen days to go in #NaNoWriMo<\/a> 2016 – we’re halfway there!<\/h1>\n

\"#amwriting\"<\/p>\n

Today is the halfway point for #NaNoWriMo. Well, strictly speaking, it won’t come until midnight tonight. How are you doing? I #amwriting and am pleased with my progress.<\/p>\n

Now, I wrote and scheduled this post on November 14th. When I stopped working on my NaNo project for the day, I had 15,406 words.<\/p>\n

\"#amwriting\"<\/p>\n

At this rate, I won’t get to the\u00a050,000 words by November 30th, but I #amwriting every day – working on it which is why I’ve not been around here on the blog much this month.<\/p>\n

Some days, the word count is amazing. Other days, not so much.<\/p>\n

This past Saturday, I scribbled over 1,000 words while I was at a sale. Typed them in to my document when I got home.<\/p>\n

Sunday was an amazing day. I cranked out 1,638 words and that was with interruptions. Still not the 1,667 per day I need to hit 50,000 and get a #NaNo winner badge.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the words flow? Sometimes not so much? I’ve had a few of those days this month. Usually a quick read over the last day’s work and I’m off and running once again.<\/p>\n

I can see a huge re-write coming for my WIP. Scenes that will need more detail. Perhaps rearrange some. This time, I did something completely different and I outlined the entire project in detail.<\/p>\n

Is your #NaNoWriMo<\/a> project still flowing smoothly? Have you run into difficulty?<\/p>\n

Give yourself permission to write a terrible first draft and put your editing hat on in December.<\/p>\n
