clare_dragonflyAnd with 80,179 words, I have completed my National Novel Writing Month goal.
This was a pretty good number to aim for, though it did mean I couldn't do that much else this month--then again, apparently that's the normal Nano experience, which I've never really felt before; 1667 words a day just cut into my internet-time-wasting, not my time to do other things. 2667 was definitely doable for me, but as long as I'm not making a living from my writing, I won't be making that my daily goal again.
Oh, and no, the novel's not done. At this point I'm pretty sure that it will be a full 100k, if not a bit more. I really have no idea how the protagonist is going to defeat the demon, especially considering her main allies are now dead, in the hospital, and in jail (that's chronological order). Fun! She's getting help from a Catholic priest right now... or she might not actually get his help, considering that the presence of the ghost possessing her means she can't walk through the door into the church. I'll see where that goes.

Date: 2010-12-02 02:34 am (UTC)I agree, when I get going and am interested in the story, 1667 words is not enough - I'm just getting going. I've done 10,000 in a day, but that's in desperation mode (though, if I'm not doing anything else, like working or cooking or cleaning, it's not too hard if I really love the story).
