NaNoWriMo Check In – Day 2

So today I played the domestic god role and feel really accomplished, especially because I got my writing in under the wire too! Let’s go through my day in a nutshell!

Woke up. (Good start, but a late one. 10 AM)

Played with pups. (Necessary distraction, I love them.)

Unstacked dishwasher, re-stacked immediately and put on.

Remembered my girlfriend put on a load of laundry, hung it out.

Cleaned kitchen in prep for groceries and cooking dinner.

Put on another load of laundry.

Ran out to pick up groceries, picked up a few other odds and ends.

Got home, put away groceries.

Ate lunch. (Realised it was 230 PM)

Realised laundry had finished while I was out, hung them out.

Prepared slow cooker chicken curry. (Wrong by the way, added the coconut milk way too early)

Cleaned up the kitchen and unstacked dishwasher again.

Sat down to write. (Finally, around 4-430pm)

Needless to say, I didn’t get to write too much then as we fed the pups, then ate our dinner and then I walked the dogs. I think up until 10 pm, I’d written less than 400 words. Determination is key when trying to slam this thing out! After not watching (but seemingly watching) some Gilmore Girls, my lovely girlfriend went to bed and I wrote another 1400 words before 1145. Very happy to hit the daily target. Also weird to think that my total has hit ten percent of the total!

So, my breakdown so far is as follows!

Day 1 – 3531,  Day 2 – 1846

For a total of 5377!

What’s even better is how well I believe this writing is going. It definitely helps when you know a lot about the character and their motivations. Anyway, how are all you other NaNoWriMo writers going? Share your wins and your struggles here! I can support you! Let’s all help each other!
