Hoping everyone's NaNoWriMo efforts have got off to a good start. I've had one day where I managed to write more than the daily target, while yesterday I wasn't really in the mood and that was my lowest word count so far (around 400). I made it out for a walk today and spent a good part of it typing into my phone as ideas kept on forming, so my total now stands at 6400 - still more than a day off-target though. I'll have to get some more walks in!

Day 20 already - the month has gone by quick! I'm at 29,000 words, so now about 2.5 days adrift, but really pleased with what I've done. It's either going to be a psycho-drama or a sci-fi horror, or maybe I'm writing two books in one and will need to separate them at some point.
Switching character viewpoints has been a big help with the writing process. If I get stuck on what the main characters should be doing next, I switch to one of the supporting ones and they usually end up doing something interesting to keep the plot moving.

Oh, I don't know. I might. I have plenty I could write about and the escape from reality might be a really good thing.

eL Bee!
Nope.
Any novel I may think that I have in me is staying right where it is.
This is a Good Thing!

I've signed up for this year, I'm currently busy procrastinating.
I've completed it twice befoe back in 2012 and 2014 I think, and I've entered it many more time.
This time I'm attempting to write a story about a Troll who lives under a bridge.

1191 words completed this evening. Not sure if this is the way the story will go, but I started with bells ringing at midnight and a mysterious package being left on a front door step. Fingers crossed I can complete it this year.
