Lamentation for the Abandoned Schedule
Current WORD COUNT: 42,544
I intend to write 2000 words today, so my current word count will increase. I’m in the middle of Chapter Eight, which features a splendid explosion, as well as an anomalous white hole.
Normal NaNoWriMo WORD COUNT: 36,674
Having fallen now two days behind my intended word count for this month, I add the typical word count goal here merely to encourage myself. I’ll certainly reach 50,000 before June 30, which is a successful NaNoWriMo to me; but my novel won’t be finished until I write 72,000 words. This will occur by mid-July.
Wishful Thinking Super-NaNoWriMo WORD COUNT: 48,000
Alas, that I had been able to stay on track! Having once this month already written a 4000-word day, I know that with work (finally!) picking up, I won’t be able to catch up twice. Woe to the super-charged writing schedule: I drink a cup of tea in memoriam.
