NaNoWriMo - Day 13

I've spent the morning here as promised yesterday. I also had my morning nap as I was falling asleep on my computer, so had no choice. I hoped to start working on Thread of Evidence and New Horizons before now, but I still have the rest of the day and will get a lot accomplished today as I intend to work on both, something I haven't been able to do as time was short in the last week. This is my first un-busy week in two weeks. It feels strange I don't have anything to do today. However, I'm taking full advantage of it and getting notifications taken care of. November 8 is now finished. I'll attack November 9 tomorrow. So, here are my totals for yesterday. Total word count - 134,440. Total word count for yesterday - 2141. 13 day total - 29,168. I will definitely push it over 30k today. I'm working out the end of the book. I'm hoping to finish New Horizons by the end of the month. It still has a ways to go, especially since I'm still working out the ending. I'm also hoping to get two chapters completed with Thread of Evidence. I don't think that one will be finished this month, but it will be by the deadline next month. My son is reworking the map and I'll have that before the end so I can get the cities on it again. I noticed when I looked at the original map, the one before I needed to change it, that I missed a city on the map, so I'll get that taken care of as soon as I have the new one. You might remember the one he did had a little mishap when he took it off his drawing board - the map tore almost in half. Okay, that's the plan for today. Time to get started on today's writing. I'll be back tomorrow. What are your plans for today? Thanks for reading.

No plans due to the falling freezing rain. Watching the birds at the deck feeder. Good luck on your word count.

Thought you’d like to know we are due to have snow, sleet, and rain today.

I saw your picture. You poor baby. Are your tickets booked? Do you feel the sunshine and smell the salt breeze from the ocean yet? Is Orville waiting patiently for you to show up?

Yay for productivity. That's interesting. You are writing the book, yet don't know the ending yourself for sure? I ask because I have thought on writing fiction, but I always get stuck because I don't have the whole story thought up in my head

It's the way I write. Page one to last. I don't know what's going to happen until it happens. I'm trying to work out the end of the book, but so far my working it out before I put my fingers on the keyboard never works.

I hope you'll have a nice, productive day! I'm getting ready for sleep now, just a little more mylotting before that . I had a full day, got some cleaning up to do at home, prepared some food and took it to my wife's workplace and then I got to work myself. Tomorrow will be pretty much the same .

@just4him it was ok, but I feel a little sick right now. Actually, I may have a fever... But nothing serious! I'll get better in a few days .

Congratulations! I know I can write enough words for a novel; the problem is I don't know how to write the novel itself!

It takes a lot of discipline to write a novel. Thank you.

Staying dry and wrm as we have had a steady rain all day and it has been quite cool. Hopefully the rain will need to stop soon as the garbage can has to be taken to its spot for pickup in the am. May have to wait til sis gets home as she has all the umbrellas in her car and now it has gotten to dark to walk that far alone down the allley way where we have to roll the can.

Sounds like you are getting the job done. My cold is worse and I’ve done as little as I could get by with today.
