So yesterday wasn’t a brilliant day in terms of my word count, although I didn’t really expect it to be very good considering it was my first work day of the month. I just didn’t know what to expect. And I’ve come down with a cold, so I had very little energy last night.

In the end I managed to write 83 words. It’s better than nothing, but I’m going to do better today.

I ended up taking the day off work because I just feel rubbish. I’m going to rest as much as I can, but I’ve already written a little bit for NaNo on my phone, so I guess that’s something. Let’s hope I feel better this afternoon, then I might be able to add some more.

So far the story is going well. I’m only a few pages in, so I’m still introducing all the characters, and barely through the first scene.

In case I didn’t mention it before, I started with the three act structure, then broke down each of those into their own three act structure, and used the nine act structure to work out significant scenes. I’ve still got quite a bit of planning to work on, and I might be able to do that over the course of the month, but realistically I don’t expect to write more than the first third of the story this month.

Anyway, I’m still enjoying writing for now, I’ll check in again tomorrow to let you know how it’s going.

Are you sticking to your goals so far this month?

Until next time,

Love Bobbi. Xx.
