Not As Impressive As Yesterday, But~~ (JuNo Day 2)

Day two: 13,525 / 50,000
Progress today: 3,303 words

Today was a little slower than yesterday. I didn't get started until about 10:45pm, but I still got a really respectable amount done. I'm done with the first 7 days of material in The 90 Day Novel. I wonder if I could cram the 90 day novel into the 30 day novel? At this pace, it certainly seems possible. I don't know if the writing will get slower once I get into the bulk of the process, though, so I'm keeping my goals open-ended. The current best-guess is that I'll be aiming for 50k each in June and July, hoping to finish the 90-day process in 60.

I did the math, and 13,525 words is basically the equivalent of Day 8 of NaNo 0_o It's also about as much as I managed in the whole month of November, and significantly more than I've written in the whole intervening time since NaNo ended. And if I were able to maintain this speed (I won't be, but IF I could), I'd be at 202k by the end of the month.

I reiterate:
Mind = blown.

I'm not going to have much time to write tomorrow. I promised Katie that I would help her clean her whole house, which means I'm going to be spending most of the day with her, which means I have absolutely no idea how much time I'll manage to hoard away for the words. Hopefully we'll be able to finish cleaning the house at a decent hour tomorrow and I'll be able to get home and get some writing done.

^--- This is the attitude I wish I always had. Writing has felt like a chore for so long. I'm almost afraid to talk about how much fun I've had in the past two days, for fear that I'll break it and go back to the tedium.
