NaNoWriMo - Day 6

Another day of furious noveling. Only had a spare hour and 1/2 today, which I devoted to writing. However, I only managed 1200 words, less than my 1667 daily quote, and worse, putting me further behind the eight-ball.

This is definitely a grueling haul, and I am not doing myself any favors getting so far behind (2640 words at this point). The good news is that I am sticking with it, and am spending any free time I have on this. The bad news is that I just don’t have enough free time right now.

But… I will survive. I’ll keep plugging away, in 1000-word chunks if I have to, and hopefully I’ll get some large chunk of free time one of these weekends to really churn on this.

The other positive thing is, though I am certain my prose is awful, the story itself seems to be shaping up. I’ve got a diverse cast of (mostly) fleshed out characters, some intriguing stuff related to said characters reactions to a catastrophe, and a threat on the horizon. The chest pieces are on the board, now its time to shake them up and see what happens.
