Today marks the last day of the first week. I can feel my enthisiasm waning a bit, not for the story itself, but under the sheer weight of this thing. It is a massive undertaking, to be sure. Especially when I am devoting all of my free time into this venture, but am only managing to tread water. Funny how 50,000 words didn’t sound like much a week ago.
Got about 900 words written on my lunch hour. Not sure if I will have time to write later tonight. Hopefully I will so that I can cut into my growing deficit (now 3447).
Projecting my actual pace across 4 weeks would put me at about 33,000 words. Normally I would be happy with that kind of output in a month, but for NaNoWriMo? Yikes!
Created an interesting character today, my favorite so far. Not sure yet where I am going to take him. Initially, he was going to be story fodder, fuel for the antagonist to chew-up. But now… I’m not sure I want to sacrifice him. At least, not yet. I’ll keep him around, develop him further, and throw him into some situations to see what happens.
