Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Five Words

Thats my final word count for NaNoWriMo 2010. Not a terribly impressive word count - I know folks who have written ten times as much this month, and it's only one eighth of the goal, but I'm pretty proud of myself. That's the largest thing I've ever written, by over half. I'd never really written more than a few hundred words of fiction before, and yet I managed to write something the size of a decent shorty story.

Next year, I'm going to try to actually complete it. Yes, I'll have college work, but I won't have induction to plan which took up so much time, nor application essays to write.

NaNoWriMo

So, I'm not a fiction writer. Not even close. Tried a couple short stories, never got anywhere with em.

So, what do I do? I attempt to write a 50,000 word novel. In a month. An absolutely ridiculous task, that only about 20% who sign up accomplish. Odds are, I won't be one of them, but I'm giving it a try.

It's called NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month.

At the moment I'm up to 3063 words.
