Word count 9100

My writing rate has survived its first workday!

Not sure how things will go for the rest of the week though...

Wow! I'm totally impressed. I'm not working on anything but nanonano, and you're way ahead of me.

I'm not doing the level of conscious planning that you seem to be doing, and I'm not agonising over each sentence. I'm working with the theory that revision comes later, and what matters is getting things out and on the page.

Its actually working quite well as I realise things about the story and characters as I go along. I'm finally understanding what some writers say about characters telling them what they want to do, and about the plot spontaneously complexifying, to use Charlie Stross' words.

So writing a lot and learning a lot!

And I should have an article out in a popular astrronomy magazine in the next few months as well!

I'm trying not to agonize over every sentence, too, and mostly succeeding. But still, very, very impressed.

Go you! Even if you miss a few days now, you've got enough of a head start to make up for it.

That's the theory!

I will be having Thursday off, but if I can keep this rate up, I should be almost 1/2 way through by the time I head for Hawaii.
