I have a whole week off in November; I'm thinking maybe I'll just write ten thousand words a day every day that week and be done.
That won't happen, obviously. But it's a nice thought.

Eek! I better get these assignments done before November then! I have 2 due on the 4th
Anyway, I'll probably end up writing lots one day then little the next, but i read the interview on NaNo with the army officer in Iraq who managed to do it, and that motivates me.

If I write more on weekends then I can build up my reservoir of 'free time'
NaNoWriMo will actually help me save money, because I go to the movies quite alot, and it costs me about $20 each time, and i can't go to the movies if I'm busy writing can I?

Maybe if I get a laptop and bring it in...

I try to write about 1,500 a day on NaNo. If I'm at a high point in my story, I can write maybe 5,000 words in a day. On a slow day, maybe 500.

I can at this point do 200 a day before I get bored and move on to something more interesting. That's why I'll never be a novelist, I get so sick of my characters and how whiny they get when I'm about to kill them off. *rolls eyes*
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

First day. I don't know how much I wrote. I did spend ALL of my free period to write the prologue and part of chapter one. Lookin' good. Considering I'm secretly aiming for 10k (cos I'm a rebel) as I'm supposed to be 'revising ' XD

Instead of the entire novel, I want to ask: how many words you set for a chapter?
"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."
