Welcome to the March 2010 Novel Push Initiative!
(It’s actually 11 days in but shhh….)
Very interesting outcome for the first 10 days. A lot of the veterans aren’t doing so hot while the newcomers are carving us a new one. There’s some serious writing going on here. People are hitting personal milestones left and right. In fact, I think we might have a lot of records set by the end of this month. We shall see!
- A “Knock-out” is 0-249 words. (After the Days of Reprieve are exhausted)
- An “Update” is 250-999 words.
- A “Session” is 1,000-1,667 words. (And earns you an extra Day of Reprieve)
- A “Tougher-than-NaNo” is anything greater than 1,667.
- A “THE END!” is when you’ve completed a WIP and type ‘THE END’.

So, what do you think so far? Is this easier than you thought? Harder than you thought? It looks like this has been inspiring for a lot of you, I’m so glad because that’s what this is all about!
And yes, I’m jealous of you both Julie K and Megs ;)
P.S.: The detailed tally links will work later. Putting them all in a single post makes it a mile long.
Congratulations on a very strong first 10 days, everyone! And thanks so much for participating, I’m looking forward to the final outcome!

This is ALWAYS hard though. It’s a big commitment, but I like it because it keeps me going.
Congrats to everyone who is still in it :)

I’m torn between frustration that work and low-level illness have made high word counts out of reach; and elation that at least I’ve not been a knock-out this time around!
I think I’ll go with elation and just celebrate that I’m still here. :-)
One interesting observation: for NaNoWriMo in 2009, I got myself over the line by having a scene breakdown ready to go before starting. This (different) novel is still a mystery to me as I haven’t nailed the planning down in that much detail. The hidden writing path is a slower and more difficult process for me; but I think what I actually write is of higher quality. I don’t think I can draw any conclusion from that just yet, but I shall ponder it.
