My First Week Writing for Nanowrimo

Last month, I told many of you that I was going to work on a 50,000 word manuscript in honor of National Novel Writers Month, and that I would be involved in doing this on nanowrimo.com.

Though it has been incredibly difficult to keep this up with work, and writing hubs and everything else that needs to be done in a normal life, I am happy to say that I have written 12,632 words thus far after the first week.

YIKES! That is a lot... I guess it breaks down to about 1,700 words a day.

Honestly, I knew this would be a difficult task, but I had no idea it would be this difficult. I do want to try my best to complete it however, and I will put in the extra time.

After all, this goal is one of the goals on my bucket list!

It isn't too late for you to start if you are still interested, though it would be more stressful to write 50,000 words in 22 days! Definitely plan for next year if you can't do it this year.

Without telling you all the whole story (seeing as how I don't know the story myself yet)... the story is about a girl who survives a plane wreck but lands on a strange but interesting island, where she is known by the inhabitants. Though this is frightening to her, she is also intrigued as she discovers more about her family and friends.

It is in the realm of a fantasy fiction book, which is strange for me because I have generally not enjoyed those types of stories in the past. However, recently I have read some books, like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (which I will write a review about later) which have made me enjoy the realm of the genre a little more.

Well, that is about it, I thought I would just give you all an update :).
