Very Productive Weekend (Word Count = 10,007)


I am now a third of the way through Chapter 2 or rather I have flushed out two scenes. Lolly made some great strides this weekend and is now poking her head out into the world. I feel like I have settled in now to how this one is going to role along. Each NanoWrimo experience has its own personality and a particular mood. This one has waves. There are some heavy points and then there are some light points. My chapter headings are helping to remind me what I want to happen when and the scenes that fit naturally within each. I am very happy with my word count today...this is the first NanoWrimo when I am not so much worried about the word count. I'm most concerned with coming out on the end of November with something that I could really work with in the coming months. I want to finish a novel. Not just print it off at the end of November or December and have it sit on the shelf. I have big plans for my writing this time around. So now...it is all in the implementation.

Hooray.
