The first day

Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo at midnight after doing spoogy things with my little girl all evening and having done a stint of tidying I realised Nano had started and knew that there was nno way I would get to sleep without doing some writing.

So I wrote 246 words of prologue and then slept.

Then I got up and using my ‘pacing’ method have been writing in 20 minute stints all morning with only a few domestic inturuptions including poppy sales people and my husbands aunt. I managed before lunch to write just over 2000 words of chapter one which I will put up for perusal tomorrow.

I want to write at least another 2000 today mainly becuase I am sad enough to have worked out how long writing this series will take at a rate of 4000 words a day! But my official target is still 2000 a day.

Of course I have discovered that my ridged plans for the chapters is already falling to pieces but I shall put them up on this blog anyway as I think the diviation is just as interesting to be honest!
