NaNoWriMon

When I first heard about this I thought my friend was speaking Pig-Latin or something similar. Then she explained that it means:

Na (Naitional) No (Novel) Wri (Writing) Mon (Month).

Which is actually the month of November. I only found out about it about half way through November but decided to sign up anyway. I aimed for 20, 000 words ( You're meant to write 50,000 for the whole month) but so far have written about 1000 in total. I'm very disappointed in myself, I know I had a lot going on this month besides this challenge and I did not plan ahead or have my plot planned out before I started but i would have liked to have at least gotten in a few regular writing days in. I am not giving up though. I know i can do it. I realised that earlier this year I was writing in my journal every morning and wrote an average of 850. I did that for three months so that is over 75, 000 words! So starting now I am going to write a minimum of 800 words a day of my novel for three months :-D Then I will start again and gradularly increase my word count every week for the next three months. By the time I get to November again I stood have at least two of my stories written and I will be very prepared to write 1,667 words per day during the next NaNoWrit Mon.
I still haven't given up this year, I've got all of today left to write and so that's what I'm going to do.

Wish me luck!!
