So I owe a massive difference in word count from yesterday mostly to a couple of word sprints with @NaNoWriMo (Chris Baty). At least I think it was Chris Baty, he said it was Chris and I can't think of another one. Lol. I missed the first sprint, and while I was bemoaning that, little did I know he was planning another two.
Something about semi-competitively writing against someone else is very conducive to writing a lot of words... not that I wrote more than I ever had before or anything. Really, the reason why I write so much more in November than in any other month is because of the community. I do it for the joy of saying that I did it, but writing fifty thousand or so words in any month is always worthwhile, and I will always be able to find people who will say to me, "That's great", so I don't need to do it in November. November is for writing with other people. Without them, it just wouldn't be the same.
The rest of my word count can be attributed to sewing together the bits that I wrote while sprinting, and to a post-11pm stint where I decided that I just wanted to write more.
