I don’t know how much blogging I’ll be doing throughout NaNoWriMo. Maybe less, since I have other writing to do, maybe more since I’ll already be writing. I still have write ups of my Cleveland trip to do, I’d like to maybe interview Micah Ranum about winning the Nicholl, so I need to come up with questions, and I am about to finish book 60, so I need to do book reviews as well.
In any event, an hour into NaNoWriMo and I have 2075 words. Which is pretty good. I have this crazy idea that it would be possible for me to get to 10k by the end of the first. If I can continue at this pace and write for four hours this evening, it’s possible. I just suspect these first couple of days are going to be easier to direct energy towards it because it’ll still be exciting and young, so as far ahead as I can get early on is a good thing.
This program I’m using, Scrivener, is really cool, I highly recommend it to anyone out there who is writing. They allow you to do a free trial, so very little risk involved there.
