EG1: 10,450 words!

Another 2, 450 to add to the total today. Wow! I keep amazing myself. I didn't know I had them all in me. Not sure how much longer I can keep this up for though. I've been waiting until after the baby is in bed, grab some caffine-filled drink (hot chocolate or tea) and start typing away. Tonight I wanted to get a jump start with the caffine so I read some while I sipped my tea. I was only going to read a chapter, but then there were only 20 pages left, so I used up a good hour of writing time to finish the book. Uh-well, I got plenty of words in anyway.

Oh, and if you didn't notice, now I'm going to actually post my actual word count. I've just been looking at the thousands and the hundreds, but now I'll be putting the exact thing.

I'm pleased because I'm through the beginning section. I've sufficiently (I hope) developed my characters and developed the problem. The last thing I wrote was the problem coming to a mini-climax which will lead into an even bigger problem. I was hoping I would make it to 10,000 before I completed this beginning section. I barely made it.

I know that there are some sections in the origonal draft that I want to include in this one, but I'm fighting the urge to look in there. I know I'll copy/paste huge chunks then. Especially since I'm sorta competing in this NaNoWriMo, I want to be fair and have all my words written during this month. So, later I'll morph the best of the two drafts into, hopefully, a third and mostly-final draft. That's the plan anyway.

You know, I really didn't expect to be in the running to actually complete the 50,000 words this month. But, I'm on track to make it-IF I can hang in there and keep plugging out that wordage. However this plays out, I've surpassed my wildest dreams anyway. What I've written these last few days is far superior to the first draft. I'm pleased no matter how anything else goes! TaTa!

First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Cheers!
