Half-Assed NaNo

[sethgray]

I'm doing this weird thing this year. I'm doing NaNoWriMo. Kind of. Except for the part that what I'm doing has nothing whatsoever to do with NaNoWrimo. I'm hoping to write 50,000 words by the end of November, yes. But I'm doing it as a running total of everything I write between now and then, with the incentive to sit and write every day. Some of the words will be from Dead Boyfriend, and others will be from other projects, short stories, etc. Oh, and I started today instead of on the first.

Yeah, like I said. Nothing like NaNo at all. Anyway, here's my progress so far:

1275 / 50000 words. 3% done!

Nothing earth-shattering but not bad for a day's work. And I may yet pick away at things. Who knows.

Either way, good luck for your word count. ;-)

Thank you!

That's my attitude as well, though I'll be happy to have 20K words.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll actually make 50k, that's just my general benchmark in the spirit of NaNo. I'll actually be more than thrilled if I somehow managed to write each day of this month, regardless of the amount.
