Update on me, NaNoWriMo, and the Podcast

I will offer no excuses or give personal boring information. But as I said at the beginning, my priority this month has been the editing of one novel, and NaNoWriMo has been the second priority. So while the edits are going along quite well, and I definitely have been writing, the NaNoWriMo project has stalled at 8100.

I could whine and quit. I considered it. Nate Lowell is at 41440, and David Niall Wilson is at 28124. It’s great for them and discouraging to me. But then this morning I did the math: I’m over eight thousand words behind and forty two thousand words to go. That sounds horrible. On the other hand, if I spread it out for the remaining 20 days this month (including today), That’s only around 2100 words a day to go. that’s not *much* more than 1700. And if I have some really good days, I can combat that.

So I’m not giving up.

In other news, I am recording a new ISBW today, and will have it for you soon.
