I didn’t hit our write-in, primarily because our ML is starting straight off by not actually reserving a room at the write-in location, so they moved the time to a time I couldn’t get there ‘cause of church. This is par for the course for her.
Not to mention that she doesn’t just let people write and discuss their stories at write-ins. Nooooo, we have to play stupid word games and try to stuff themed paragraphs into our stories. *rolls eyes* I absolutely loved the FoCo crew and the write-ins there. Makes me homesick. *snif* They were awesome.
As for my word count, browsing NaNo forums makes me feel both better and worse. Some folks finished about a week ago...some (unless they just haven’t updated word counts) are only at a few thousand. So there’s that.
Got in about 1200 words this morning, though it’s not transcribed yet. And that brings my manuscript past the 50 page mark. I love that stack of paper... Way cool.
Ookay...it is most definitely a very blustery day out there...
At least it’s light, though.
Ya know, I get real suspicious of folks who have those super hugh word counts. Some people are past 100K already, they hit 50K on day 3. I think they’re either unemployed or prone to exaggeration. I mean, I’m as prepared as I’ve ever been and making better progress than I ever have, but it is still a slog. It took all day yesterday to get my 4K, granted I had basic life requirements and took a break to put the last round on the afghan border, but still. Given 4-5K a day, and this being day 12, a 48K-60K wordcount would be credible, 100K... not so much. Not accusing anyone of anything... just sayin’ is all.
