Most of us have heard of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writers Month. In case you don’t know, November is National Novel Writers month. On https://nanowrimo.org, you can join a massive community committed to writing in their quest to reach 50,000 words written for the month. Of course, you can set your own goal. Maybe you only want to write 25,000 words. Maybe you want to write 5000. Your goal is up to you. Most members of the writing community are supportive, kind, and willing to offer respectful advise if it is asked for.
I set my goal for the standard 50,000 words. This is my first dive into the NaNoWriMo pool and I’d like to share updates on my progress periodically with you lovely folks.
Daily Goal
1,667 words
Reached Today
1,814
Reached Total for NaNoWriMo
1,814
Book Total
9,003
Now, I will admit that this is a novel I started on prior to NaNoWriMo so my book total will be different than my NaNoWriMo total. I love writing and I truly hope to have this first draft completed by the end of the month.
I wish any of you participating the best of luck and feel free to share you progress with me! I can be found here on my blog as well as on Twitter (@literaryweaponry).
Good luck with NaNoWriMo!! I’m doing it too, it’s my first time this year! Good job with completing your goal on the first day 🙂

I’m doing NaNo too! I think we followed each other on Twitter yesterday. 🙂 We hit almost the same number of words on Day 1 — I made it to 1820!

That’s awesome! I’m sure it will get a little harder farther along in the month but it felt good to start off strong.

The novel I’m doing is before NaNo as well. Slay that word count girl! 🙂

Most of the people I’ve spoken with are continuing novels instead of starting new ones. Makes me feel a bit better about the whole deal. Hope you kill that word count, too!
