Progress

So I was thinking about this novel-writing thing today.

The challenge was supposed to start on November 1, but I didn't hear about it until the fifth, so I was already behind. I've only been averaging a thousand words a day, so I'm even further behind if I really want to get to 50,000 words by November 30.

But, that being said, I've written 5,311 words. If I keep going at this rate, I will have 25,000 words by the end of the month. I won't have the completed novel, but 25,000 words is FANTASTIC! I mean, that's 25,000 words that weren't there before, and that goes a long way toward getting this story told.

So instead of lamenting the fact that I am so far behind, I hereby am allowing myself to say, YAY ME!
