I'm a little bit tired of writing right now (therefor a blog post and not any nanowrimo:ing) but at the same time very. very. hyped! It's crazy. Day two of Nano and more than 10 000 words already? I've beaten my old Day Two Record with 2500 which I thought impossible when starting in the morning. But then again, the "shut yourself in and do nothing but write"-technique is quite efficient.
Another factor as to why I've been able to write so much in just two days is the heap of planning I've been doing this year. I've written a full synopsis consisting of almost every scene in the whole novel, which is several pages long, and then contracted it into very brief bullet points... which I divided into short chapters. It's like a road-map, easy to follow!
So far, I'm on chapter five of twenty eight (plus an epilogue) and I'm hoping to write at least a chapter everyday. Again - they're short.
Xyssify sadly won't do Nano this year (yeah, I know, stupid German schools, right?) so I'm a lone blogger over here. Aaaand that's pretty much all I've got to say for today.
Hope your nano is going great!

Aaaaand I'm back! #nanowrimo2014
I was kind of doubting that I would do Nano this year, due to a number of reasons. A) I've been working on a project with someone else for some months now, and we're halfway through, but it's not the kind of project I can use for Nano since I only write half of it, B) I wanted to focus on only one project and C) I am feeling a bit lazy. Plus, I already won last year! Totally deserving of a year off.
But then again... it's really fun. And a great motivator. So for the last week of october, I've been doing some planning and re-modeling of one of my old projects, which is what I'm gonna write on this year. If you're interested, go check my nano-page (Bokpanda).
So far, it's been going great. I stayed up til midnight, wrote 1,2k words, woke up early after that, and am now currently at 4,6k. I'm aiming for 5k for today, but not sure if that's gonna happen, since I'm about to go scare some kids at the annual "Ghost walk" at my stable. (Or who am I kidding, I will probably be the most scared, and end up staying in eating popcorn with the youngest children.)
Anyway, good luck to all other wrimos out there!
