Day Seven Total: 5,073 words

Well, at least I finally passed 5,000 words. Always look on the bright side and all that. =)

And the Yarny and official counts synced up again. Hey, that totally means I'm making progress because it's decreasing the word count. =)

Day Six Total: 4,939 words

I wrote for like twenty minutes this morning and then... didn't really pick up the groove. But that's okay. Words are words. (I think that's my new motto.) Plus, I don't yet hate my story.

Fun Fact: The official NaNoWriMo counter is tallying my story up as 1 more word than the Yarny word count. I'm enjoying this while it lasts because as the word count gets higher, the difference gets greater, and usually goes in the opposite direction. I don't know how they define words. It's a complete mystery.

Day Twenty-Nine Total: 50,025 words

That's right, despite a major lack of blogging I have managed to succeed in actually passing the winner's line on the twenty-ninth day of November. Entirely Write or Die free, might I add. But with Yarny, and that's a pretty cool tool in my book.

I shall refer you to the following graph for all the word counts you missed out on:

 It's my lowest count yet, but who really cares? It is a complete story. I didn't just crap out in the middle somewhere. It's not a particularly interesting or coherent or cohesive story and right up until like three hours ago I was absolutely certain that I would never want to read it ever again, but I added a slight twist ending and suddenly the whole thing seemed like it was an okay story. Definitely not my best or most interesting, but decent.

Day Eleven Total: 20,352 words

I finally broke 20,000 words!

I wrote more than 1667 words today!

I'm still above the average words per day line!

And all in the hour of 11pm. How awesome am I? Pretty awesome considering I almost forgot to write anything at all today. Firstly it started because Yarny was down for maintenance, and then I just kept forgetting. Good thing I'm backed up on Google Docs.

Also pretty awesome considering how much cheating on my story I've been doing by writing the outlines of other stories today. (Seriously, if I can knock out my next 30k words in the next week I'm going to go for another 50k... because obviously my goals just aren't lofty enough for a plotless novel.)
