NaNoWriMo 2014 - Day 28 - 101%

Day after Thanksgiving. We're up at my sister's family's ranch and I'm writing through a tiny Verizon "hot spot" device.  I completed NaNoWriMo but still estimate that I need to push the word count target from 50,000 to 75,000 words to complete my novel.  Writing will resume on Monday, December 1st.

NaNoWriMo 2014 - Day 27 - 99%

Only 400 words today.  Too much turkey!  Still, I'm continuing to fill in the "stub" scenes and that is progress.  I'm hoping to have several hours to write tomorrow which means not only should I complete the NaNoWriMo challenge, but be able to validate my manuscript.  I am estimating my novel to require about 75K words though.

NaNoWriMo 2014 - Day 26 - 98%

Today was another good day of writing, filling in stubs, not just creating empty ones.  Brother Einar and Lærke leave Odense and arrive at Krogen to find out that King Knud and his entourage left two days ago.  They borrow two horses and ride down to the small village of Copenhagen, then continue on, catching up around the merchant town of Køge.

A Suspicious Death...

My novel is nothing like this:

NaNoWriMo 2014 - Day 25 - 94%

Wow.  Almost 2000 words today.  Not just "stubbing" but actually writing out a few of the stub scenes.  I have Gunnar and his henchmen getting ready to try to kidnap the prince on his way to meet his father.

And note that the percent complete is to for the NaNoWriMo goal, not the percent complete of the actual book.
