Its update time again, has it really been a week since the last one? Where has the time gone? I know its not gone on writing my NaNoWriMo, due to one thing or another. In fact I have a provisional deal with a friend that we will pick a less busy month next year and have a private challenge.
As for this months challenge, I have not done so well, I have however got the outline of what I think is a good story, and I have some of the skeleton built it just needs fleshing out with lots of words.
Actual Word Count: 5000
Projected Word Count: 34500

OK. Why cant we have NaNoWriMo in some other month? How about May? May is a quiet month? Why do we have to have it in November, which always seems to start off as one of the busiest times in my year? Then after much drinking/eating/Lack of sleep I tend to get run down and end up with the flu or some other such illness which slows me down even more.
Its a conspiracy I tell you.
Anyway. Thanks to a bit of work done last week while waiting in the hospital for an eye checkup, and more done yesterday while between events at the Karate competition, and the odd random bit of writing here and there I have actually got a start on my story.
Well two starts really as I have two bits on the go from the same story but at different parts of the book, which means when I’m stuck on one bit I can jump to the other. So I have made a start, and Half way through the month I have already beaten my records from previous years attempts, So I have done what I set out to do, and actually do better than I have previously.

I said I would do weekly updates to try and shame me into actually getting a better score this year in NaNoWriMo than I have in previous attempts.
So this is the first update. exactly a week after the start of the challenge, and I have not done very much really. In my defense last week included, Halloween Celebrations, Samhain, My Birthday, Installation Planning/Night, Bonfire Night, and was very busy.
So I am seven days behind, I have done some planning, and I have some basic ideas. OK, seven days does equate to approximately 11,500 words, but I am not worried YET.
Actual Word Count: 0
Projected Word Count: 11500

I’ve decided to set myself a challenge. So I am taking part in this years NaNoWriMo.
For those of you who have been reading this blog for over a year, or have read back entries I say this to you “Yes. I know I say this every year, and yes I fail more often than not, but this year is different.” For you newer readers I say :-
NaNoWriMo? you ask
National Novel Writing Month. Its a yearly challenge where people try to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. (that’s 1666ish words a day! for those of you interested in such maths.) More information can be found on the NaNoWriMo website.
So, Pens at the ready (Symbolical pens as I will be using a keyboard) and lets begin.
I will post weekly updates to shame myself into writing.
