Just wondering: you come close to the number of words needed, but does the story also come to an end? And what do you do if the story comes to an end just before you reach 50,000?
The story I am writing now is something I made up especially as a NaNoWriMo-project. I planned in advance the number of chapters (25, 2000 words each, a chapter a day) and made a rough list of what would happen in which chapter. Of course, this skeleton had to get some meat to its bones, and during the writing I automatically started filling up my wordcount with small subplots which would be not too hard to close at the end
( ... )
My book is about a girl, Charlotte, who seems t have it all. She studies (a boring but useful subject), she has a well paying job on the side, her parents love her. She feels trapped because having all these things should make her happy when really she's bored and lonesome most of the time.
To entertain herself and have some sense of adventure in her life, she writes about the Blonde Avenger, a superheroine who patrols the streets of Plotville and is asked to join the club for superheroes. The Blonde Avenger has to start from scratch, borrowing things from her uncle and starting out with the easier villains. Her uncle tells her about something that happened to her aunt, who used to be an amateur heroine like him and the Blonde Avenger but the details are very vague.
The stories of the Blonde Avenger and Charlotte eventually come together (I am just at that point) when they understand how much they influence each other.
It's not the best novel ever written, but I'm having fun :)
