And so JaNoWriMo begins...

I didn't see an official word count post this time around, so I'm posting my own post. Please let me know if that is not allowed.

I kind of forgot about JaNoWriMo until last night (New Year's Eve), and due to working on other things and having to go into work tonight, I didn't get to writing until just before midnight on January 1st/2nd. Oh and also I had had to print out and paste the part of chapter 7 that wasn't in my handwritten MS notebook into it, which took some time.

Anyway, in an effort to once again write every day, I set a 10-minute timer and wrote. So here's the count:

Tuesday's Word Count (1/1/13): 125
Total Word Count: 125

Although I am continuing my NaNo novel, I'm starting a fresh word count, since I figured we were supposed to do that. Or not. Not sure how JaNoWriMo works. Is there a word count to shoot for like with NaNo? Or are we all just setting our own word count goals this time? I suppose I could go for 50k again. If anyone knows the answer to this, please mention it in the comments.

Hope everyone's doing well in JaNoWriMo land!

I'm treating it as something of a "finishing month" meaning attempting to get 25,000 words onto a story or series of stories. These are stories I was already writing a while on but lately I've been tweaking as I go along. Well this month might actually help on the "stop tweaking and just go for it" front. My word count for yesterday ended up around 1000 words. Today so far I haven't had quite as much time to get to my writing so we'll see if I keep up with my goal of 807 words per day.

I'd do that too but I still have a long way to go until the book is finished. I'm only on Chapter 8, and barely out of the beginning. Wondering just how long it'll take to finish this book...
