Word count update: Daily 2074, Total 5149
Comfortably hit my goal of 5k before November 3. Now I have to decide upon a more realistic goal for the weekend. I am supposed to be going out of town with my boyfriend and my current laptop is not in travel suitable condition. I can't close the lid and the screen is being held in the casing by a large paper clip. Writing on paper can be done but it takes twice as long, plus then I have to copy it into Word after I get back to my laptop. Writing on my phone has been done (56 words) and can be emailed to myself then cut/paste into Word but it takes me forever to type on my phone. So writing will be slow, new goal seems reasonable.
Original goal was 2500 a day, so 10k by Monday. If I work some more tonight and tomorrow morning before we leave, then cram Sunday night after we get back it might still be possible. I guess it depends on how much I can get done before I go to sleep. I still haven't packed anything, though with the new information about the trip I don't think I need much.
I have hit my first bump of writer's block, starting to over-analyze exactly how to get one of the main characters involved. She is critical to the middle and end of the novel but getting her started has proved to be more challenging than I originally anticipated. What is hanging me up is trying to make it believable.. I need to remember this is NaNo! NaNo means writing and throwing caution to the wind. Can tighten the plot gaps in December!
