Alright. I admit it. I just could not resist taking part in the yearly NaNoWriMo challenge, so basically, I have decided to write 50 000 words in one month – which unfortunately takes place in November, so I only have 30 days. Well, it could have been worse (like February, lol).

And I still have that 100% paid job that pays my mortgage, so the bottom line is that I try to write as much as I possibly can in the evenings/weekends – without writing complete rubbish.

Anyway, my plan is:

1. Write 2000 words every day
2. No editing
3. Add words to any story in my work folder or start a new one if needed

And so far the result is:

1. 30 900 words
2. On 8 different stories
3. Of which two have a full 1. draft and are ready for editing

So, I think I have a good chance of succeeding unless the well runs completely dry or I get so fed up that I just have to stop, lol.

But the main observation is that I can actually write more than I think I can. And when you suddenly enter that writing flow and words just keep coming, it’s so much fun. Well, some days, I just hate my writing program and prefer to be a reader instead of the one producing the stories, but that’s just normal.

Stil, my main concern is that I may have the spend the remaining 11 months editing this mess. Oh dear….
