And so we meet, November 4th. For the past four days, I’ve been up into the wee hours of the night trying to finish my word count for the day. Yesterday, I wrote a mere 1,100 words, and the NaNoWriMo website let me have it. It put the “At This Rate You Will Finish On” date at December 5th even though I had written more than necessary on the 2nd in order to be ahead. OKAY, OKAY! Way to scare me into submission. The same thing happened with my Word Tyrant on my iPhone (yay for word count obsession, because I like to see it in different formats. And God forbid the NaNo website crashes and I can’t update my word count… so it’s best to have backup, I always say) and it flashed a huge “behind target” red bar at me on the graph, which is forever going to tarnish my record, because I can’t just go back in time and change these things.
Which brings me to the point that I have no idea what else to write about. I’ve been going strong for four days and I’m extremely proud of myself for just that dedication, but soon I fear that my novel will become complete crap. People have stopped reading it so I’ve stopped caring about that, but the fact that I’d like to come out of this with 50,000 words and the basis of a novel that I can make into about a 75,000 word novel is looking dim.
Two nights ago, I randomly decided mid sentence that I was going to burn a character’s house down. Why? Who knows. But it got me a few thousand words, just out of the burning down. So, so far, there’s been a wedding, and a bout of arson. Cool. What’s next? I have absolutely NO idea.
