Word Count, Storyline Progressing

I am very proud of myself right now. Between yesterday morning and this afternoon, I have written a total of 6,198 words and I’m not even done for the night. I am now just 3,764 words short of where I should be at this time in the National Novel Writing Month in order to complete 50,000 words by the 30th. At this rate, I should be caught up by tomorrow night at the latest. In terms of word count alone, I’ve actually passed Chris Baty, the inventor of NaNoWriMo. It’s not a contest, but by comparing my word count to Chris’s, knowing he always ‘wins’ NaNoWriMo, it’s a psychological boost to my ego, as it reaffirms the idea that I will ‘win’ NaNoWriMo too. Whoohoo!
