So as the curtain silently falls on NANO 2010 my total is 39,583 - just 10K or so short of my 50K deadline for today!
Am I dissappointed? A little! I would have loved to have been able to go on to the official Nano site and upload the whole 50K - but we don't always get what we want in life!
It's hard to write and do the day job at the same time, so I guess I am being a little bit hard on myself - let's face it just under 40K is not so bad.
I am determined that I will finish before the end of December - at the very least by the 31st! At least then I can set to working on this draft.
My biggest concern was that in trying to achieve the 50K I'd write a load of drivel - I'm hoping that in not achieving it I've avoided the drivel (laughing)!!!
I will take time to read through what I've written this month and I shall come back and log my thoughts here. Writing for 30 days with this deadline hanging over my head has kept me focussed to a certain degree - for me this is a plus. Will it have been worth it? Only if what I've written is worthy of holding onto - otherwise it'll be a frustrating task if I start deleting loads and depleting that wordcount!

It's all about the wordcount @ Nano!
So ... I'm just over 6K words in - not bad - major clap on the back for this girl :)
Question is, can I keep going at this pace - not so sure! One of my biggest worries about Nano is that you push yourself to write (quite possibly a load of drivel) because you need to keep the wordcount up there in order to finish on time.
So here's my question. Is there any point? Who wants to have to start at the end of 30 days and try to edit a load of drivel?
But there again - it may not be drivel - it may in fact be the most wonderful writing any of us who are in there have ever put to paper!
I wonder how many people have finished Nano and never actually done anything with their manuscript?
