Update

Ok, ok, ok, I know. I haven't written one update on my NaNoWriMo experience. One word explanation? AWESOME. First off, I have never written anything longer than thirty pages of so. Today I passed 31,000 words, that's getting around 100 pages. I'm actually sitting at 31,556 words. It looks like I am going to be able to make the 50,000 word count.

Here is how everything is breaking out. Tomorrow is volleyball night. My word count is not going to go up a huge amount. Goal for tomorrow...500 words is likely, 1000 words tomorrow would be a bonus.

If we assume likely that will put me right at 32,000 words. My goal for Friday is 2,000 which should not be any issue. That puts me at 34,000. Saturday and Sunday, low goal is 4000 words by the end of the weekend. No problem with that. I am going to try to write 3000 words each day. If we assume low end...that puts me at 38,000 with 8 writing days to go. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday should be 2000 apiece. That puts me, low end estimate again, at 44,000. Turkey day my goal is only 1000 but I may be able to write more. That would put me at 45,000 with 3 days left. If I can pull of the 6000 word weekend I would like to, it would be 47,000 with 3 days left.

Either with 3000 or 5000 remaining in those three days, there would be nothing stopping me from getting there. I don't see my story running out at all.

In fact, I haven't gotten to any of my three plot twists I have been thinking about. I am about to introduce the first one starting in my writing tomorrow. I'm planning on plowing right into December and set my own goal for that month. I would like to put 40,000 words out by the 31st. We'll see how that goes.
