A thousand a day is not bad maybe, but I need to do better...I'm adding to my deficit.

But I look back at those first three days and I know I can catch up....plus, everything the last few days has been a struggle to write. I need to find that place where it just flows again. I'm sure it is there somwhere...

Good job, Bel! :kiss:

Could you try skipping to a scene out of order? Something with a different mood or tempo than what you're doing now?

Or could you take a moment to write a scene that is so familiar to you that it's easy to burn through several thousand words?

For example: I was having a hard time too, barely dragging 1000 words out of me. So I wrote a party scene, cause I used to work in party planning. Then I wrote a birth scene, cause well, duh I'm a midwife. The next scene flowed pretty well cause I'd had two days of success under my belt and had gotten back into my groove.

Just a thought. Good luck, Bel!

This is soo funny!

If you are typing in word go to 'tools' then 'autosumarize' select in a new window and 100 words or less.

This is what it gave me

Marcus, not Mark. “It’s Mark. “Walked. Suddenly, Mark froze. Mark woke up stiff. I’m Mark, Mark Jacobs. Mark froze. Mark walked into

Mark nodded, “Sure. “Rebecca? “Wha?” mark was confused.

“Mark, you are insufferable. Mark’s father nodded, “I see.” Mark froze. Mark didn’t answer anything. “Mark, it’s me.” Mark nodded, “What’s wrong?”

“Mark, look I’m sorry. “Mark, that’s not it. “Mark, that’s not fair. Mark quickly entered. Mark smiled, “Thank yah kindly.” “Hey Mark.”

“Rebecca? Mark nodded weakly. The door opened and Mark’s father walked in. Rebecca looked at Mark’s father, “A body?”

“Rebecca?” “Yes, Mark?” “Mark not Marcus?

Really alot more happens BUT mark and rebecca are the MCs and mark's dad is mentioned alot, so its funny. I did like the symetry in the beginning and end of it.
 
I've passed 16.000. Off to write some more now, before M comes to pick me up. We're going out to eat Chinese before we go and see the new Harry Potter movie! :nana:

Congrats on the 16,000.

Aw, I'm sorry Crim. Make up for it today! ;)

It would be nice, but I don't see it happening. Have the kids' bowling Thanksgiving party this afternoon and have goodies to make before we go. Hopefully I can make some time to write tonight.

You can sit and write and I'll go to the Thanksgiving Party -- I'm going to be awake anyway. :p

Ahh, I wish, but I can't. We're doing Scotch Doubles today, so not only do I have to help with the party and everything else (I'm a league officer), I also have to bowl with the kiddos.

Ha! By the end of each Saturday, this mother is extremely exhausted after trying to keep 4 kids on task to bowl 2 games and get the league business done at the same time.

Damn. Well hey, at least you still have the discipline to even think about Nano, I got burnt out and couldn't do it anymore after 13,000 words.

Nano's not easy. I crashed and burned miserably last year. I don't think I even made it to 13,000.

Well I may quite proud of myself for getting that far, it's the longest thing I've ever accomplished and it isn't done yet. I'll pick it up again at some point.
