Nanowrimo Day 28

38,549 words and two days to go. Can I do it? I'd like to think I can. I've still got my old room to finish clearing out (I've moved to my landlord's other house, yay!) but if I try and get that all done tomorrow then I suppose I have all of Friday to be a wordcount zombie.

I can tell there's loads more of this novel left so it's just a matter of finding time to sit down and get nearly 12,000 words of it down over the course of two days. I'm only up to January 1965 of a story that was going to go up to somewhere between 1967 and 1973. Then end of what I'm going to call 'Part 1' is approaching and it looks like it's going to involve Ian and Nell deciding to get together and get married and the band releases it's first single. I've had that in note form at the end of my document for a week or more now, so that's the point I'm going to aim for.

And then maybe I can start writing 'Part 2' at some point in December. It's quite addictive this writing lark, isn't it? :-)

Quick update

So that's my rent paid up, soon-to-be-ex-housemate's rude comment ignored and my Mum sorted for coming up to help me finish organising and shifting stuff on Sunday and Monday. Now I just need to get something nice for dinner and crank out 11,000 words at some point over the next 30 hours.


Crikey, it suddenly feels like an awful lot of words.
