NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and is held every November. It’s a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days (or 1,667 per day). Writers and wanna-be writers come together with a common goal to write novels, short stories, memoirs, whatever it is they’ve been putting off or need a push to get started. This year I decided I would document my daily writing practice as I strive to finish a draft of a novel I’ve been taking far too long on.

Day 7
Words Written: 727
Total Word Count: 10,280
Goal: 50,000
Good and bad news.
The good is I’ve done some of my best writing today. It’s really something I would be proud to show somebody which is never something I feel under normal circumstances let alone on a first draft.
The bad is I was under the word count again for today.
Until tomorrow, When hopefully I’ll have more time to actually write.
