Wednesday Writing

So Wednesday is my official writing update day. I have so many story projects going on and I need a push to get some done. So I will be trying to post each Wednesday about how my writing adventures are going (and I may need a swift kick in the pants by you guys sometimes).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nanowrimo has officially started! I didn't get started until Monday afternoon but got started with a bang.  Monday I wrote 3,414 words and yesterday I manage 3,587 to get myself caught up at 7,001(as of yesterday the word count needed to be 6,666).  My goal is to continue writing about 3K a day this week and reach at least 15K by Friday.  As long as I keep this up I will be able to keep the writing at the office and not have to bring it home at night or on the weekends.

Oh did you see I came up with a title too?! What do you think?

Anyway, I am off to try to hit 10K by the end of the day today, better get busy.  How is your nano coming along? Still in the fresh rush of the first week?  I hope the words are flowing nicely for you!
