NaNoWriMo - Day 5

Day 5 is here. Where oh where have the last four gone? Are you travelling ok and have you written your daily word count? If so, congratulations.

If you are a little more like me, having found it difficult over the last five days to find the time to write, do not despair. We still have 25 days to go. Full steam ahead from here.

Don't get me wrong. It is not as though I have not written anything. On the contrary, I have made a start on a new novel. With my romance novel about to hit the bookshelves (Counsel's Objection), I thought I should start another one. It is nice to escape the daily grind of listening to people separate and write about people who fall in love.

I may not have written the daily word count of 1666 words, but when I have not written I have done plenty of imagining. Don't underestimate the power of thinking about what you are going to write about, or what your characters might do or say. This morning I was able to spend five minutes of writing on the new novel and I drew on stuff I had thought of during the last few days when I had not been able to write.

So I have some catching up to do, but I am pleased I have made a start and my story is developing.

I hope you too are writing and working on that next novel.

As the post will not count toward my novel word count I better get back to writing the novel.
