Today marks the halfway point of my attempt to write a novel-in-a-month while participating in NaNoWriMo. I’m very pleased to say that it is going well for me so far, and that yesterday I passed over 25,000 words to slide into today with a good cushion for beginning the second half of the month. My word count total now stands at 27,059! I’m happy with the way the story is evolving, and the characters seem to be taking me in new, and interesting, directions that I hadn’t expected. But, most importantly, I haven’t yet run out of story line. So 50,000 words now appears to be do-able rather than daunting, and I think I’ll have a darn good novel to edit at the end of the month - I hope!
