The other day, I was looking at my word count for one of my novels, and it finally sunk in that November is almost over. I knew it was almost over, but realizing that I had about 5,000 words or so left for each novel was mind-boggling. It’s been a great month overall. I’m sad November’s over, but I know on December 1st, I’ll be ready for the madness to start all over again.
And on a side note, I feel a cold coming on. I’m thankful it waited until the end of the month, although I’m surprised I didn’t completely fall asleep while writing. A nap will probably make me feel better. And cold medicine might help too.
Secret Service Novel: 45,236; only 4764 words away! Still debating whether I should do the 1667 or if I should write 2382 today and 2382 and finish early.
Harry Potter: 49,122; just 878 words away. I should finish this one tomorrow, but today is also a possibility, depending on what I do with the secret service novel, and if I feel up to it.
2006 Sequel: 49,079; 921 words away! This one will likely be finished tomorrow, which is quite the relief, given I have no idea what to do with it. On the plus side, the shovel of death and Mr Ian Woon have made an appearance.
Grandtotal: 143,437; I’m just 6563 words away from 150,000! I have an inkling that I’ll be several thousand words over 150k, which will be a nice change from previous years. Having extra words is good, because there’s usually a discrepancy between word and the nano validator (and thankfully they’re pretty close), but usually I try to wrap things up at 50,000 words.
