There are exactly 3 days and 2 hours left in NaNoWriMo, and my current word count is 43,625 which leaves me with 6,375 words left to write in that time. Last time I did NaNo, in 2008, I hit 75,000 words and finished my story by the end of the month and this time I'm pushing the limit of just completeing it. But last time I also didn't have a boyfriend and now I live with mine so that takes up some of my novel writing time. But also I've just been lazy. No real excuse. But I'm planning to hit 46,000 by the end of the night tonight so then I'll just have that last four thousand to do over the next three days. Shouldn't be too hard. Then the hard part will be forcing myself to finish the story, since it won't be over by 50,000 words, especially since my main female character just went and got herself bit by a poisonous snake in the middle of the Mexican jungle. Which was totally NOT scripted, I'd like to point out. A bit of improv on her part.
Alright, I'm off to put some apple turnovers in the oven and then crank out another thousand or so words before they are done, hopefully!
Happy noveling!
