Wow, a day off but most of my writing still happening after 9 pm. Managed to surge past 15000 words to 16156 and if I wasn’t working tomorrow, I’d try and push for more.

The current chapter is about the protagonist trying to understand the character in his dreams and figure out if he is a figment of his imagination. I am excited to show some twists down the track as to why he doesn’t know of this person through the first two novels in my other trilogy while also there will be hints as to how important this character is way down the line. Four novels in the series and all very intertwined.

Sometimes I love time travel!

This week I have to try and get pretty far ahead as I have a family get together on the weekend and I’m not sure how long I’ll be out. Either way, a writer can’t go wrong with a buffer! As of right now, I’m nearly two days ahead of schedule wordwise so hopefully that continues on!

The one thing I have to say I love about NaNoWriMo are the posts and the open discussion about writing that happens. This is actually better than the local writer’s festival which seems more like a hipster gathering rather than celebrating writers or helping them out. This frustrates me as there aren’t many things I could either attend (due to their time and my work schedule) or they just aren’t for me.

That being said, at the moment NaNoWriMo is my home and I can’t wait to get to that 50000 mark! Hopefully by friday I’ll be well and truly past 20000, and then I can smash the 50% mark!

Fun fact, during NaNoWriMo’s I’ve written 180000 words! Not too shabby! Maybe soon they should have a NaEdWriMo (National Editing Novels Month). I could use one! Hope everyone is killing it out there!
