Oh. This is getting hard. I have pushed myself to my upper limit because I wanted to make sure I hit 25,000 words today, November 19th. Which I think I did, though I may be off a few hundred words either way. Even so I feel good about being half-way to 50,000.
Or at least I did feel good until I glanced in here and saw that I'm supposed to be at 30,000 words. At my best, that puts me at 5,000 words behind. I would hate to finish the month at 45,000 words.
And so I soldier on. There's nothing for it but to keep going. I started NaNo a week late and have never written more than 1,000 words a day in my life. The fact that I have gotten this far is fantastic, and I do credit all of you for inspiring me.
It helps that this is an amazing world to write in. Still, this is definitely touch-and-go; there's just no way to tell if I'm going to make it or not. I'm only at 25,000 words. I am completely exhausted and somehow have to find it within me to do everything I have just done for the last two weeks... a second time.
Wish me luck!
