I’m baaaackkkkk. I have had a great productive day today! Yeah me! It has been quiet, no phone ringing, no dog barking. Nothing but peace and quiet to write in. Blessed be! I managed to produce 2786 words today in a relatively short period of time. It just kept coming so fast out of my brain my fingers could hardly keep up! And I type fairly fast. It’s a good thing because yesterday I got a bit behind. Now I’m predicted to finish Nov. 28Th! Well, only if I keep up the pace.
I now have a total of 7461 words written in 4 days. Not bad.
I was doing some snooping around the NaNo site today after I punched in my word count and some people have 10 or 20 thousand words written all ready!! 20 thousand!! In four days. Me thinks they started writing way before November 1. ha! Of course if I would have been smart and not so lazy I could have done the same I suppose. But what is the challenge in that? Oh well.
The Last Chapter 
10,000 I could see if they’ve been mentally plotting it out for a long time and just have to actually type it, but 20,000 seems excessive. Then again, when I was working on a story at one time (lost it..damn motherboard) I used to write 5-10 pages a night. I don’t know how many words that is.

I still am trying to wrap my head around the NaNoWriMo concept. What becomes of the end product???
I think it’s awesome that you can roll out a novel at the end of the month… maybe one i’ll jump on board. 😉

Also, I wanted to mention I can’t seem to get on your blog! Everytime I do my virus scanner pops up and won’t let me access it. It says your web page has a virus on it! I thought you should know and maybe you could run a virus scan on your puter. I couldn’t email you because I couldn’t get on your site to get your email! Hard to read your posts when my puter won’t let me on it. ;-(

I can’t seem to access your page no matter what I do! It’s very frustrating because I enjoy reading your posts. I have run a check on mine and it says it’s clean so I don’t know whats wrong.

Okay, try it again. I removed the link from my sidebar to the webpage in question.
There’s nothing embedded in my page that warrants concern (just checked) so maybe that was the issue.
That is frustrating.
