Ah well, maybe I'll manage next year

I am rather unlikely to reach 50k words by the end of the month. I only have just over 4k now and would need a to a touch over 3k a day for the rest of the month to hit 50k. But that doesn't mean that I'm giving up entirely. I'm just acknowledging the unlikeliness of reaching the NaNoWriMo goal.

That said, since posting part one I've got a dream (which is clearly a dream from the start, none of that "Oh my what's happening... psych, fooled you, just a dream sequence" nonsense from me), a little of the aftermath of the dream, and skipped ahead and did a portion of the school play (which will probably later be ruthlessly cut -- too much, "Look at the nifty background history I came up with," most of which can safely be trimmed).

After November I think I'll work out what my average daily output was and use that to help set a continuing goal. Then when next November hits I'll be better prepared.

Don't forget to post what you have managed to write, pretty please. Because y'know, positive feedback might stir you along. :)

Not to worry, I fully intend to finish this. Although I do need to grumble a bit at Doris. She's saying she wants to go off script. As in, not actually give the opening day remarks that her mother wrote. Swears she isn't trying to get run out of town on a rail :/ (Pretty sure she'll manage not to offend, it isn't like she wants to offend anyone).

Ought to have part two up in few days.

Do not worry too much – spend that energy and time for writing instead :)

And ... you do not need to reach the NaNoWriMo goal – as long as you have fun writing and maybe meet a personal set goal or two is ok.

I think your story is interesting and I am looking forward for more :D
