day ten, session three, 14405

4579 words today which isn’t bad at all. Wasn’t too hard either; not with writing in sessions.

Hoping I can get some details to add in as well, but the first three chapters are down at least. I need things that will happen in Istanbul, which is tough since it’s really just supposed to be a desk job.

day ten, sessions one and two – 12680

So now it starts to flow again. Even scenes I couldn’t write before and just skipped are going smoothly.

Today’s target is 16666 words. I am unlikely to hit that, but I should make another 1k words today.

Tomorrow will likely be handwritten so I will see how far I can get with that. That’s often enjoyable but slow.

The next sticking point will likely be Istanbul around 30-35k words. Not looking forward to that.

Days Nine and Ten,

It’s the bad part of NaNo–or so they say.

Personally I have not yet noticed much in the way of additional misery. It’s the same amount of awful as it was before.

I find that the first four hundred words are the worst; then 500-1200 go by very very fast; then 12-1800 normalize.

The ninth was my sister’s birthday so I was distracted.

Day Nine: 542 words;
Day Ten: 1739 (which surprised me).

Day Ten

Took me a while this morning, but I got some done. Had to do some research on different background items.

Otherwise it’s going okay.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to do more later tonight. Any amount of words would be helpful so I can catch up. But I do feel like I”m back on track, which is excellent.
