Tuesday - day 13

Another terrible day yesterday - zero words written. But followed by an amazing day's writing today. As I started to write the words just flowed out, and my main character was transported from scene to scene, each one developing and completing before I had time to consider the other characters and relevance of the scene ... just write, just keep writing I was thinking. So my hero has been through battle, capture, pow camp and onto working parties ... all in one day.

That was nearly 6000 words today - and forum contributions on the nanowrimo site and even time to update my blog. That's thousands more words than I have ever managed to produce in a day before ... in any form ... novel, manuscript or business stuff. Fantastic achievement (I think).

So that contribution saw me break through the 20K mark. Yes 20,000 words of the novel completed, and I'm almost back on track - just 1,000 words behind the target schedule. But with another couple of day's productive writing this week all should be well for the challenge of week 3 ...
