20,000 Words

I’m just writing a short post to say that I hit 20,000 words on my Nanowrimo project a few minutes ago and I’m feeling pretty pumped about that despite the fact I’ve got a bit of a red wine lull left over from last night. I have never written 20,000 words in one continuous piece and certainly not in a mere eight days (while also working, sleeping, eating normally and going to the gym). So this is a bit of a revelation…. not that I’m in masterpiece land or anything…. but if I’m focused it turns out I can write fairly prodigiously even given my tight schedule.

I’m pleased about 20,000 even more than I thought I would be. Only two more days of writing at this pace and I will be halfway!
