Writing a Novel 43365 words and counting

I cannot believe I have made such progress in the last few days. My hands are aching my arms are aching but I think I may just make it to 50,000. Have one day left to go with 6700 words to go.
Have no idea if I even have much more to write but am going to drag it out of myself tomorrow. So near and yet so far right but I really have got to do it don't you think. Wish me luck am amazed by how far I've come but am really determined to get there. Off to bed now am dreaming that am tapping on a keyboard in my sleep and tryingg to think of a bit more plot to write as am not sure I have enough content to fill up the last leg of this task. Phew will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Writing a Novel

Unfortunately owing to being really poorly and in bed for more than a week have not been able to keep this up. I have only 4 days left to go and am only a third of the way there. Will carry on and see how many words I can achieve or will add on my "lost days" to get to mid- December to give myself a fighting chance. Have managed 16,560 words so far out of 50,000. Don't really think it is any good not able to stick to a style but never mind am still writing away. Hope to get back to both blogs for December so will be writing here anyway.

National Novel Writing Month

I am taking part in this challenge I started on the first of November and have managed to write 4984 words so far which is amazing to me. You are meant to not proof read not woory too much about grammer or plot but just let it come. It is amazingly freeing to just write without thinking is this actuallt any good and just treat it as a first draft. I am guessing that the firsr week will be easier than the next few as I have no idea where my story is actually going. Anyway I am not expecting to get it published any time soon if at all but it will be a great achievement for my 101
