Yesterday started the second week of NaNoWriMo. I have to admit, I’m quite pleased with my progress thus far. My original goal was to write 2300 words a day, five days a week, and leave the weekends for other things.
I kept my 2300 words/day goal, though at times it was a struggle. On top of that, I deviated from my weekend plans and decided to do the 1667 goal set by NaNo. Technically I did my 1667+ words over the weekend, but the NaNo folks must not have been hip to the end of Daylight Savings cause I ended Sunday short and started ahead on Monday.
Oh well, everything’ll be back on schedule today, and my words will have evened out. So, how many words did I get the first week? According to my count, my Sunday ended with a total of 16042 words. Not bad.
On top of that, I managed to finish polishing a couple of chapters of Shadow Cat. Still waiting for the beta feedback though.
This week, I plan to continue my awesome progress with my NaNo novel (Alley Cat) and incorporate the feedback I received on chapter 10 and 11 of Shadow Cat. What say you about the cover art for Alley Cat?
