A magical day!

Published by wurdburd at 8:32 pm under writing Edit This

Haha - today I have broken the 30,000 mark, word count for The Truth About Shoes, my first novel and first NaNoWriMo attempt is 30068. I have been checking the official site, and updating daily. Reading this months writing mags about character study has made me feel quite positive, much of what the experience authors suggest is what I have been doing anyway.

Thank goodness for that, then. Right now a contender for Lewis Hamilton’s championship has just shot by our living room window, the roar of exhaust loud in the quiet of the road at twenty past midnight. Got to go off to bed, an early start tomorrow, on that mad stretch of road they call the M6. What will almost be as amazing as reaching 30k words half way through the month will be getting back tomorrow evening without going the wrong way. If I don’t appear tomorrow evening, you will probably find me somewhere near Cadbury World - or heading towards Cornwall on the M5
I am sure Truro is lovely at all times of the year, being the popular holiday destination that it is, but I would rather go there when it is part of an organised trip than as the pure accident it would be in my lost and disoriented state. Anyway, the Eden Project would be locked up by the time we got there

    WTG! I am at a little over 28,000, but plan on hitting 30,000 today if not more. I don’t have a title for my novel yet, but hope to figure out one soon. Good luck!
