back on track – day 9

It may not be quality writing, but I feel good today after catching up and getting back on track – hence the visual for today.

I exceeded the word count goal of 15,300 – the place I wanted to be this far into the nanowrimo challenge.

My main character is turning into a bit of a psychological mess – not sure how much of the story she is telling me is true (!) but at least she is now clear in my mind and she is drawing in the other characters to tell her story.

tortoise and the hare

Fables – a message for life or nanowrimo at least. The word count goal today should be 13600. I am 8953 – so at the start of the day I am only 65% towards my cumulative goal. In other words, I have to write half of what it took me a week to write and do this in a single day to even reach the goal word count score. A hairy (I mean scary) thought. I could become quite depressed at this stage, only one week into the challenge. I could decide to throw in the towel and get back to doing some painting. I could do lots of things, but I am reminded of the tortoise and the hare – I will keep plodding along. In the end I might just get there!?!
