NaNoWriMo & Me, Yo. DAY ONE

NANOWRIMO
BECAUSE WHY NOT?

It's been a couple or five years since the last time I participated in NaNoWriMo, but this year I'm giving it another shot. I don't see why not. In fact, in 2011 I managed to crank out nearly 72k words.

This time I am going to work on a fresh draft of Ashland's Asylum. My medium will once again be 750 words. ​

Here is my goal: Write a brand-new 70k-word draft of Ashland's Asylum by Dec. 01, 2016.  See how my first day went.

WORDS

The first day was a little rough, and I hope it's not a sign of what I have to look forward to. In short, the day ran a bit longer than expected. I was hoping to crank out around ~2,333 words per day.

My plan, however, is to not allow any day to fall below 750 words and to make up for the "weaker" days on weekends. For instance, I can spare several hours on a day off to crank out 6-8k words. For instance, tonight I found a little over 30 minutes to crank out over 800 words. So, assuming I have 4-5 hours to write at some point on a free day, that's 7-8,000 words. 

FEELS

One reason I like using 750words for NaNoWriMo is because it breaks down not only your frequent word choices but also what they mean. For instance, 750words gives you a rough idea of your mindset while writing based on what you wrote. But we'll get more into that during a later post.
