I wrote and did not die

I don't know if I bothered to mention last year, but I did end up using @DrWicked's "Write or Die" (http://writeordie.drwicked.com/).

It's just about the best thing in the entire world for making you focus your attention on just getting words out. I managed to get 1,441 words in 30 minutes (which is an average of 48 words per minute), which really makes me feel a lot better about myself. Actually, I might use Write or Die again tonight and try to get another 2000 words in an hour, and maybe even try for 20k tonight.

I was actually only trying to get 500 words in those 30 minutes. That seemed like a much more easily achievable goal.

On second thoughts, nah. I will set today's word goal to 18k. At the moment I have 17,047 words. Unofficially I think I'll try for 20k. Might as well.

At the moment I'm resting my fingers. They feel strange and tingly. I think it's the weather, and not so much that I haven't typed this much in a while. My recent writing before the month of November has been of the pen on paper variety. I haven't yet transferred it from paper to hard drive.

...and I just read through this post before posting and found myself adding extra words. That's NaNoWriMo for you!
