We're about third of the way (11 days) through National Novel Writing Month! A few stats to show you where I am...
Word count so far: 6162, including a rough outline, character trait descriptors, and random idea list
Worst day: 161 words on November 4. Pitiful, I know. But my biggest goal for this project is to write every day. (I don't even have a goal set for the total word count.) And I've done that.
Best day: Today! 1329 words, thanks to the NaNoWordSprints twitter.
Best writing music: Hans Zimmer's Inception soundtrack. 100% hands-down. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
Best writing inspiration: 10 Prompts to Get You Out of a NaNoWriRut
Hardest part of writing: Getting my characters to talk. I can write descriptions till kingdom come, but my dialogue is awful.
Next story goal: Writing a riddle, to be delivered by a new character I'm calling The Enigma.
It's been a fun adventure so far! I feel like I'm finally getting to know my characters and figuring out my writing routine.
Wishing the best of luck to all other writers, whether you're doing NaNo or just the usual. Happy wordsmithing!
