Well, the third nanowrimo story isn’t finished. That’s the bad news. But the good news is that I made some progress on winnowing down that gap between where I am and where I should be, and if things keep going at this rate (as frustrating as it may be), I can probably build a small word count buffer before Thanksgiving rolls around.
Also, my wife and I had an interesting idea for how to write more, even on a busy schedule. She was agonizing over her own nanowrimo, so I asked her how much she can write in half an hour, and she said she can write about a hundred words in five minutes, so I suggested that she set a timer to go off at the top of every hour, and when it goes off, sit down and write 100 words. Don’t feel obligated to do more, but just feel obligated to sit down and write. Because I’ll bet if she does that, she’ll end up writing much more.
Interesting ideas, but it’s late and I have other things I need to do. Night.
