Non-national Novel Writing Month: Or, 50000 ways to avoid tidying your bookshelves

[bouteillebleu]

Inspired by something a friend is doing, yesterday I started what I've termed FinNoWriMo.

Some of you will have heard of NaNoWriMo, in which the aim is to write 50,000 words of a novel in one month. I did it for the first time last year, and didn't make the deadline - I had about 30,000 words done by the end of November. It's now September, and I'm still at only just over 50,000. So, this month will be Finish Novel Writing Month.

My aim: to write 50,000 more words by September the 30th, or finish the story.

Current word count, before starting writing tonight, is 53,039 words. I'm aiming for 2,000 words a day, so I've got a little of a head start.

Oh, and for the two people who've read some of it, I should have this scene finished by the end of the weekend. For anyone else who might be interested, the only place any of it is currently available is in my NaNoWriMo profile from last year. I should have a site put together for the rest of it by Sunday.

Oooh, I like the excerpt on your profile. Though I have nothing else useful to say.
