NaNoWriMo - Day 2

It's been a good writing day today. It's been a good day, period. I was up at 1:30 this morning, so I definitely went to the pool this morning instead of waiting until Monday, which I learned at the pool, I might not make it to the pool Monday morning as the Packers are playing a Sunday Night game. We play the New England Patriots. I can hope for a win and will watch to the bitter end to see if we can pull it off. We almost did against the Rams, and they're undefeated. Anything can happen. So, after a two-hour nap, which was necessary, I got to work on New Horizons, which I also started when I got home from the pool. My total word count now stands at 4478, with 2544 written today. I also finished the chapter I was working on, so can begin a new chapter tomorrow. It will be interesting to find out what trouble I can come up with tomorrow for my characters. So far, it's not looking good for anyone. Tomorrow, I start chapter 28 of the NaNo project I started last year at this time. I have a total of 109,683 words on New Horizons so far. It will be interesting to see how many words the novel has when I finish with it, hopefully in the next 28 days. How is your day going? Thanks for reading.

Good luck on your NaNoWriMo novel! I decided I am not going to participate this November due to the fact that I feel like I need a rest after Inktober but I am thinking about participating in one of the Camp NaNoWriMo events next year.

I've never participated in Camp NaNoWriMo, though if I have time, I might this time. Especially if I haven't finished this novel yet.

@things4gotten Me too, and right now doing double duty with getting my novel edited for publishing is a lot of stress. But it's working out.

@just4him To be honest I haven't either but there have been times I have thought about it. I usually just participate in the November event.

I am rooting for the Pack! I won't watch it as I cannot tolerate Brady but I will read about it. Good day, been busy with household laundry, etc.

I almost wish I hadn't watched it. The Pack lost. There was unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a Packers player who got ejected from the game, and Coach McCarthy ejected him from the team. I hope he never plays football again.

@just4him Oh no I did not know that. Too bad when that happens.

I'll be glad to have a non-productive day again when I can relax and not worry about word counts. However, the writing is going well and it doesn't take long when the words are there to get the word count up.

Just fine. Just sitting down now eating a bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup that has been simmering most of the morning and early afternoon and it looks like it will be dinner also tomorrow even after I take some out for a friend and give it to her tonight when we go to fellowship. It is hitting the spot on this cool day as the temps here at 3pm is only in the mid 60s which is chilly for here.

Yes, that is chilly and a bowl of homemade soup would touch the spot perfectly.

That's great you get to see the Redskins in person. I hope it was a good game. I'm sorry you had to take your cat to the vet. It's good you got the rent money early from your roomie.

You had a good day. I only cashed two survey checks and spend the money already. Today is my birthday so I bought myself a birthday present.

There is another user who has joined NaNoWriMo, it takes time to write so many words. You are doing good.

Very good progress and I hope it keeps going so well. That is a lot of words and I know what it is like to have to write- but never that amount as I have not done a full novel. Coongrats!

Counting words every time you write is something that only a determined person can do. Do you make a living at selling books?

Not yet, but I want to. I have four published and will publish another next year. The count is automatic, so I don't need to do it manually.

@Janet357 No. I don't use apps if I can help it. I have Microsoft Office Word, and the word count is automatic.

@just4him oh, did you publish it on apps?
