Hey,
I haven't been writing much recently because 1) Final Exams were last week and 2) NaNoWriMo started a little under a week ago! I'm really excited about writing my novel, and I'm SO glad exams are over!
For NaNo, I set my word goal at 30000, but since I'm already at 8000, I have a vision that I may increase that goal. Still, this weekend I haven't worked on any homework so far, so that's why I was able to write 4000 words in a day, whereas that won't likely happen at any other point in NaNoWriMo this month :(.
Last year, I was writing almost nothing at this point. My word goal had been set to 10000, so I basically wrote the minimum to reach that goal every day. Then, in the week of Thanksgiving, I suddenly had a wealth of time on my hands, so I jumped past my word goal of 10000 and began racing towards 12500, then 15000, then 17500, and finally 20000. I ended up on the last day with 21212 words, which was quite far off from my original goal of 10000!
Therefore, I decided to reach high this year. I was going to go for 20000 or 25000, but then I remembered how little I had been writing at the beginning of the month. I had to shoot high this year. So, 30000 it was. And I think I just might get even higher. I have high hopes that I can start the adult program next year! :)
Just wanted to check in. :)
