A late, but productive start




So I did not get any writing done on the morning train. Exhaustion overtook me and I slept and thought about process and slept some more. This evening, though, the words flowed well and I got 1200 words or so written in an hour and a half. Not quite the pace I need to keep to the suggested advice from Chris Baty:


1) Surge early. To be on par for the month, you should be writing 1667 words per day. In Week One, try to get 2000 or 2500 a day, and beg, borrow, and steal as much of the first weekend as possible to write. You won't need to keep up this pace throughout the month, but nothing guarantees a NaNoWriMo victory (and a fun month) like opening up a hefty lead in the first week.


Especially considering that I won't be able to write on weekends unless I give up sleep.

The NaNoWriMo.org servers are pretty much dead under load right now, so I won't even bother posting the link to my stats page at this time.
