Week 4 was great for me!
I’m still pretty far behind after having two lackluster weeks in the middle of the month, but I feel like I’ve found my stride again. I’m still having a lot of fun with The Dreams, and I know it won’t be finished when I hit 50k for the month.
At this point I honestly don’t know how long it will be. I have an idea of how it will end, but there’s still a lot of things left to write until I reach that point. It’s going to be a long story. Hopefully nobody will mind.
I have 19,000 words left to write by midnight tomorrow night. That number is a little overwhelming, but I’ve written 18,000 in on the last day of NaNoWriMo in the past so I know I can do a bit more in two days if I put my mind to it. If I can get close to 40,000 today I know I’ll be able to finish tomorrow. Usually I work pretty well under pressure.
How was week 4 of NaNoWriMo for you? Have you already won? Are you scrambling to get caught up like me? How will you spend the final two days of the month?

Good luck! Glad that you’ve hit your stride, and haven’t given up.
I haven’t won yet, but am on target. My sister won today though so I am a bit jealous…

You’re doing great!
I’ve never been on target this late in the month. Something always happens and makes me fall behind. The last few days are always a series of sprints for me.

I’ve had a go this year and somehow managed to get past the magic 50,000.
The strange thing is that I’m still at the same point in the story that I have been in prior years – in other words I still need to finish it, and I guess that’ll be another 10,000 or more words to wrap it up.
I had one bad week in around week 2 – a long gap because of other things – and then I arranged a burst where one day I managed to do about 7,000 words to catch up.
It’s still a fun thing to attempt. Good luck with the rest.

Thanks!
Every year NaNoWriMo reminds me that deep down I’m a procrastinator. At the beginning of the month any little thing seems like an excuse to stop writing, but then at the end I shut everything out and focus on getting to the finish line. Now I need to find a way to make self imposed deadlines work as well as NaNoWriMo.
