I have 17k words now. If it sounds like a crazy number to have now, it is.

How’s everyone doing?

Oooh, congrats! You’re doing great. A crazier number to have now is 25k. I haven’t even broken 10k yet. (ノД`)ヽ (ノД`゚)゚。

I honestly don’t know how other people win this thing year after year. They must have no lives at all! Or at least no family members or other people bothering them. I keep getting interrupted, then it takes forever to get back into the flow. (ノ_<、)ヾ(´▽`)

I have tricks up my sleeves :grin: I’ve been testing these tricks every NaNo to see how quickly I can get it done and to see what exactly I’m doing, so I can tell other people the tricks.

One important thing is mindset: The goal is 50k, not an awesome novel that people will love. It’s about word count first, plot second. So, to win, you should focus on getting words down. There’s several things you can do to achieve this quickly and, hopefully, each time you sit down to write :wink:

I got my count done for the day. Most of today was looking up a route to various places in London.

Probably not going to win this year! I’m 33k which is ahead, but I have to finish this editing next week for my publisher. So much to do! It’ll be the first time I havent done Nano in years :frowning: but it’ll be worth it! (I hope, if they take this book on!)
