The Lost Firefly, 20 thousand words reached

Hello everyone, I just wanted to give you an update on novel one and national novel writing month!

Last night I reached and smashed twenty thousand words, I'm nearly at that half way point and it's only been a week.  I'm quite surprised with myself, considering I only get the chance to write 8:30 to around midnight, that's PM by the way.  I think its because I type as fast as I think, I did a lot of typing work in my early jobs, teen to early twenties was moving from job to job and most of the time it was typing.  So I have quite the knack for it.

So, at the moment Raine and Hunter are off to get blessings and.......well, I can't tell you any more or it will ruin the story.  So, I feel quite confident that this year I will be able to complete national novel writing month.  But it's that last few thousand words that always worries me, I always get to fourty thousand and start to panic, what if I don't reach the target, what if I rush the ending just to reach the target.  After all I believe the story should not be rushed or ruined just to reach a word target, but it does add a challange.  But I always tell myself, it's all about the story not the word count, although it is all about the word count in competition terms.  But I will not ruin a story for it.

So, I hope your looking forward to reading it, I have discovered that I can have another blog, so when the novel is done I will publish it on a blog for you to read, the. Start my next one of course.

Have a lovely weekend

Tatty bye.
