Hello there bloggies it’s the 11th day of NaNoWriMo and as you can tell I’ve not been here much. I thought a quick well placed post on progress and to say hi might be in order, just so you know I’m still about.
I’ve been able to keep up with reading posts either but I’m still getting though some.
Anyways, I have a book title but I’m sure it’s not going to be the final title, I have no idea what it will be but this is a Sci-Fi, space opera epic set in the future that is crammed with mystery, plot twists and a little on time travel as well.
Here’s where I am… just touching 17,000 words, I’m not sure why it says 0 days straight becasue I’ve been at this for damn 11 days straight and it knows that. I also won’t be finished on December the 3rd it’s just I’ve not written today’s words.
So it’s progressing, I intend to keep it up, 1600 words a day and make it to at least 50k, this will almost certainly not be the full book and I will have to carry on to about 70k ish.
I hope you guys are ok and if anyone else is doing NaNo as well look me up: scifi_simon

I seem to top out at about 1600 words I can’t seem to get more. But then one been messing about today. What’s your username on nano and I’ll come and find you.
Sounds like yours is planned out.
I do have a plot it’s in my head and generally the plot follows it’s course. There’s some minor variation. But generally that’s how it goes.

1600 is good. I think it’s a good day if you can get anything from 500 & up.

I’m not doing nano (not this year) but I’m usually writing from 500 to 2000 (day). Sometimes I can write 20-25k in a week too, if I need first draft quickly
