NaNoWriMo update

Brief update on progress so far:

Day 1 – beat daily target of 1667 words with 1698

Day 2 – life got in the way – 0 words

Day 3 – Day 14 – Will make most of being away from work and will try to stay away from internet, faceboook and twitter. May add occasional updates on word total.

Day 15-30 – will try and balance life and writing with work and hope I’ve managed to get ahead in the previous days.

On the plus side I am happy with my story

I also have some brief character outlines.

Have been asked some questions on the hot seating forum which I have noted down (not had time to answer but the answers will be integrated into the story).

Have a series of 30+ sentence starters/scene ideas.

Have enthusiasm to write this.

NaNoWriMo and Cancer Research UK

Oct 18

Posted by kirstyes

I have decided to participate in NaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month for the uninitiated) to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This is a personal challenge for two reasons, obviously I would love to meet the 50,000 word target but more importantly I have just found out that a family member has cancer for the second time.

You can find out more about my reasons and sponsor me at http://www.justgiving.com/Kirsty-Stanley.

If you decide to pledge based on my word count please make a note of your pledge below (to keep me on track). Please note comments will be moderated so be reassured they will be made visible once I’ve waded through the spam.

Please follow my updates here and on twitter (kirstyes) and use these to talk to me and keep me motivated).

Thanks for your support.
