nanowrimo post mortem
So, today I finished my new novel and by lucky chance reached the 50,000 mark of NaNoWriMo (50,100 to be exact). I've enjoyed banging away, more or less in the public eye. This is the first time I've ever posted my daily totals. If you're interested, they're below the cut.
Day 1 = 1600
Day 2 = 3200
Day 3 = 2300
Day 4 = 2500
Day 5 = 3400
Day 6 = 2100
Day 7 = 2850
Day 8 = 2000
Day 9 = 3000
Day 10 = 1650
Day 11 = 2600
Day 12 = 2950
Day 13 = 2450
Day 14 = 3800
Day 15 = 5200
Day 16 = 5100
Day 17 = 3400
(Average = 2947)
I feel a little bad doing this because, well, I do it for a living and I've got pretty good at churning it out. (In this time, I flew to Sydney for a day, had a signing at A&R, got stuck in a plothole, and had one hangover. Bet you can't guess which days.) Also, the hard work has only just begun. While it's nice to have a new book under my belt, now I have to make it into a good book. That's where the magic really happens.
For those still on the treadmill, keep at it, and good luck!
