Every night I am happy because I met my target, and every morning I realize that I have to do the same thing all over again.

I pushed a bit last night and hit 10,000 words, which is actually the target for the end of today. A little bit of buffer is nice to have.


My plot is starting to take shape though, and my characters starting to reveal their motivations.

The first 10,000 words will probably need heavy editing (after Nov 30th) since it was sort of exploratory, and I had no idea what was going on until about 6-7000 words in.

And now I must finish the scene I started yesterday, in which I threw my protagonist into a situation that is way out of his comfort zone. He's starting to relax; I must make him miserable again.

If anybody is interested, I've been posting every evening at http://paradox.homeip.net/~janra/writing/nano2006
