I made good progress today on my NaNoNovel. Both in terms of word count and in terms of the story.
Words written today = 3,103
Total word count = 48,462
And, yes, this means that I am nearing the NaNoWriMo benchmark of writing 50k words in 30 days. Except that I expect I will have it completed tomorrow. So 50k in 22 days. Not bad.
But the story is still going. The novel is not yet done and it is coming together quite nicely. I do think this will be another one to work on completing and editing and working towards publication. One of the first things to go will be the title. There is a little bit of that in there, but it is definitely not the point of the story. And that is okay.
This is NaNoWriMo and for me that means creative exploration. Letting the story come as it will and being willing to throw out any preconceived ideas about where we're going because, after all, this is the characters' story - not mine.
Yes. Tomorrow I will reach the end of my 50k NaNoWords. But I won't reach "The End."
All is good.
