The Beginning
NaNoWriMo has already started. It started on the 1st November (i.e. yesterday) at midnight local time.
This blog is to categorise my experiences during NaNoWriMo, and also to record how many cups of coffee I drink to keep up. Which at present will be quite hard as I do not have any coffee in the flat.
I discovered NaNoWriMo through a friend, at about 11pm on the 31st October. I was at first hesitant to join in, as I was well aware of my university commitments. However, after an hour or two of deliberation, I signed up.
I began writing at about 1am GMT and by the time I was finished at around 3am (it took longer due to issues in the flat) I had written the first 2000 words, and as the next day (well, the same day) was my day off, I wrote another 2827 words then.
My word count is now up to 4827 as can be seen by the handy bar on the right, as I have written nothing today.
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this yet, but NaNoWriMo is actually making me more productive in terms of university work. Instead of just procrastinating about everything, I actually want to finish this novel, but because of my university work, I ensure that it's done first, so I can work on Desolace (the working title of my novel) with no worries that an assignment will be forgotten.
To finish, I thought I'd attach a working picture of my desk. The desktop on the left is that which I listen to my playlists with, and am typing out this entry, whereas the laptop on the right is where my NaNoWriMo work is done. I also plan on keeping a record of how many encrusted pieces of cutlery or plates are left as I slowly go insane to keep myself writing.
