NaNoWriMo - Day 18

Yesterday was a long day on myLot. I'm not complaining. I read a lot of great posts and interacted with some I haven't seen in a while. Time was limited, and I didn't think I would get a lot of writing done, but I did. Here are yesterday's numbers. Total book word count: 145,418. Daily word count - 2123. NaNoWriMo 18-day total - 40,018. I got the 40K word badge. Just under 10K to go now to finish. I should also finish New Horizons in the next couple of days if I don't finish it today, which is a distinct possibility. I didn't make it to the pool this morning. I went to bed last night with a bad sore throat and the beginning of a cold. Woke up with it too, though at the moment, everything feels good. I need to go to the store for a little bit of food for Thanksgiving and orange juice to kick this cold to the curb. I did get two days worth of notifications done this morning, so the next time you see me I'll be working on November 15. I've also broken away from 400 notifications. Now I have 300+ to the finish line. As I said yesterday, I don't expect to be caught up before the first of December. I got a little surprise this morning when I looked out the window. It's snowing. Not hard, you can barely see it, but the ground is turning white. At least the sidewalks are. It will take a lot more snow to turn the green grass white. That's what's happening here this morning. How is your day going? Thanks for reading.

Yes, I have and will continue through the end of the month. Then I'll slow down to a normal pace.

Glad you are getting some snow. It is sunny today with highs in the upper 60s as we are now in our "yo-Yo" season going from one temp extreme to the other.

Seems like you'll hit 200,000 words for your November Nanowrimo.

Thank you. Nothing lays me low for long. I was back to my normal self the next day. Thank you. By now you know, I finished the challenge. Still writing though. I want that last badge - 30-day writing badge.

The challenge is really working well for you isn't it although I know you're very disciplined with your writing anyway.

Glad you are able to meet your goals on NaNoWriMo, that is something I don't think I could do. I enjoy writing but more like journal writing not novel writing. Good luck catching up on your notifications. Hope the oj takes care of the cold. Happy Thanksgiving. Have a blessed day

Thank you. I've been writing since I was 8, so this is not just a challenge, but a lot of fun. I like to challenge myself to see how many words above 50k I can do in one month. Last year when I started this novel, I put in 80k+. I got up to 105K in the offseason - other months besides November, and that's where I started this November as a Rebel. I'm now in the 50K+ part of the month. I kicked it to the curb with OJ. I hope you also had a blessed Thanksgiving. Mine was very good. Thank you.
