Ah yes, but do you like what you're writing? ... or maybe there hasn't been any time to read it.
I'm trying to keep my editing brain switched off, but I have taken the odd peek back at what's on the page so far...

So far, so good. It's first draft stuff, of course, but I'm not too unhappy with it.

Unlike three years ago, when I was definitely aiming for quantity and doing all sorts of word sprints and 'Write or Die' exercises, this time I don't feel that I'm writing any faster or more carelessly than normal. I'm just getting in more sessions (it helps a lot that I don't have too much other work at the moment).

I'm hanging in there. My word count's at 15,385. Just about to start the final chapter of Act One.

OT: I'm feeling a little concerned about Crich - has anyone seen him around? He's sort of in my neck of the woods - I'm in Michigan's UP and he's in Wisconsin, so I feel a little like we're neighbors, and I'd like to know he's okay.

Probably he's just deep in Nano.

It does seem to take you over. Things slip. Post goes unanswered. You vaguely remember that you once had a family and friends.

How's it going, Crich?
I'm at 17,000 words even tonight. A bit behind but not bad over all.

Feels like time for an update as I've passed a milestone.

I'm at 40,527 words, and have just finished the first chapter of the second half of the story (i.e. half way through Act Two).

For the curious, 44,766 words so far and enough notes on things I want to change and backfill to keep me busy for months after I hit the end.

I finished November at 52,617 words. I'm just about to start the second-to-last chapter of Act Two, so I've got about 25,000 words still to write to complete the first draft, along with a couple of thousand words of foreshadowing that I need to go back and build into the first half.

I'm aiming to get it done by Christmas.

Awesome, I finished with 51,726 words and promptly decided that I need a few days off to recharge my brain, and figure out how to write a car chase which I've never done before.
