Plot Twist

Word Count: 40,266
Page Count: 73

You probably never saw this coming, but today I managed to write 2,200 words. It's great news for me, because this entire month I have been perpetually behind by 1,500 words and lately it has whittled down to just about nothing. My fiancĂ© just told me to bulldoze through the 300 words that I needed to catch up today, but my brain was acting all lethargic and constipated. By that point, I wasn't even half-way through the words I needed to write for today.

Well, it just goes to show--this NaNoWriMo project is possible to achieve when you're lost in a scene that just writes itself; I don't have to be extra wordy just to make the count, it just comes.

I hope that happens for you, fellow writers! If you're stuck somewhere in a narrative, but that on hold--what scene are you really wanting to write? Is it the climax? Is it meeting a new character? Is it the ending? If it's about to explode if you don't do something with it, forget working chronologically and get your words out so they can finally have some life.

Only a week left! Here comes 10,000 ish more words!
