So writing was easy today. Better than I expected. However (in my own opinion) I did cheat a bit. I started writing something new. I have added it to the NaNoWriMo word count, but I might delete it from there later. For some reason this new story got stuck in my head and I had to get rid of it. I should add that it is only the beginning of a story, but it's not bad despite that. At least I think it's not bad....
So today I wrote 2610 words, giving a grand total of 45123 words. However it is across two stories. But I did have to write the second one.
Tonight I plan to print out what I've written so far and then start editing it. I'll cross out the bits I don't want and I'll mark where I need to add stuff. Hopefully tomorrow I'll write some of the new stuff. From the main story I won't delete anything, just white it out. Still undecided about the second story. Maybe I'll move that one.
Still there are still 13 days to go, so I should do OK.
You can always make the new story a dream of one of the characters in your first story (or a story that they are writing or telling to someone else). That counts!
