I have been busy for 4 days and was unable to complete any NaNo writing – today I had the day off and set myself the writing challenge of 4000 (secretly hoping for more like 6000) – unfortunately it was 5pm before I started! It has taken me the best part of 4 hours but I have succeeded.
I have been counting the parts in bitesize chunks of 200 – 500 words, not intentionally this is just where the natural breaks came – I had a post-it note taken from the plan highlighting the events for different characters in tonight’s write and I have been updating my word count too. By the 18th day you should be around 30000 words, I was *up until my break- ahead on NaNo stats and so it is a tad disappointing to sit within the limit now but I know I have some time on Weds and see no reason why I can’t produce at least 1457 words a night after work (this is my limit now dropped from 1667 – to finish on time.)
I shall now share my STATS and TIPS with you and wish you continued success in this vital 3rd week of writing!
I HAVE BROKEN MY NEXT MILESTONE!

FINAL STATS TONIGHT
- Just keep going
- If you fall behind that’s okay – choose a good time to sprint ahead of the pack!
- Lots to do? Write in bite size chunks.
- If you are writing in bite sizes keep updating your word count and watch it grow!

Congrats on 30k, that’s my goal tonight.
Thanks Nina – Hope you made it 🙂 sometimes those milestones roll through in quick succession, if people want to be on track for finishing at the end of November – unless they have some secret whole day writes, they need to be on target at approximately 30000 by now, I have cracked 33K tonight and hope to catch up more tomorrow.
Good Luck
congrats . I too am on for NanowriMO,need to catch up fast, I started too late ..on 7th Nov.
Wow if you started a whole week late you should really give yourself an extra week to finish. Perhaps there are some local community meets you could go to afterwards, to finish.
Or just employ some of us as email/inbox cheerleaders to come and see you right through the extra 7 days!
thts sweet and amazing. BUt Iam yet to know ho wit all works..Do we upload the content together or is it part wise that is uploaded?
You upload the whole manuscript on the 30th Nov with 50,000 words – or less if you didn’t manage – you win if it is 50,000 words. There is no need to upload the parts in between. Hope that makes sense 🙂
Hey ! I did it and it over 50,000 words… I cnt believe, I could manage to do so early. yet yesterday I did..
WOW – well done you I have 2 days to finish mine and over 10K to go!
