NaNoWriMo – Day 7
NaNoWriMo November 7th. 2008, 10:12pmWord count: 13,020.
My word count was not quite what I would have liked for today, but hell it’s a Friday night. Even though I had a few beers at the end of the day at work, I didn’t go out to the pub like I usually do with the boys. Instead I went home to write and hang out with my partner, Maria.
I had the time during the evening to get a lot done, but I find it distracting to my writing to do it when someone elsenis around. Most of the writing I’ve done in the past has been done in isolation, not when I’m helping my girlfriend print out photos.
But I also know that I’ve given myself a bit of breathing space too … If I only do 1000 words each early over the weekend – at 15,000 words by the end of Sunday, I’m still on track.
Oh, and 13,000 words means I’m just over a quarter of the way there!!

Pretty impressive. I on the other hand have written nothing but i was thinking about “The Student” this morning and realised that I have dropped the ball on the mayor’s son mentioned in the prologue. I’d better bring him back or mention that he is out of town…. what a stupid plot mistake!
Happy Nanowriming!

That’s an easy mistake to make, especially when juggling something as big as a novel and doing so over an extended period of time. Unless you’re re-reading everything you’ve written regularly, it’s amazingly easy to forget those small details.
