Nano, Day 2

Today’s progress:

Project: Requiem draft one.
New words: 1,837
Total word count: 4,040
Goal: 50,000 words (for Nanowrimo, the final draft will be longer of course)

Writing: I would have liked a higher word sound today, but I’m happy to get something.  It’s all forward progress.

I really battle with the idea of Nano, since my instincts are to go back and rework what I’ve already written, to make it work better.  I’m forcing myself to keep on moving forward at the moment, which is what Nano is about, after all.

Real life: Family lunch for my mother’s birthday, which used up most of my spoons.  I’m already exhausted, thanks to the flare that doesn’t want to end and a really crappy night of sleep last night.  Which is why I’m glad to get any work done today at all.  I think I’m going to go and waste a few hours playing computer games, just to give my brain a rest.

Total words for 2008: 497,278
