I agree – 15,000 is pretty good. I thought I would do NaBloMo and didn’t even get started. My blogging has been appalling in recent times. You just keep on with it and aim to finish in mid Jan or maybe b4 you come back to work?

Thanks Gizo & Penni. I am quite amazed that I churned out so much in a month. Or in half a month in fact.

I am thinking about setting a more sustainable target of 4000 words per week from now on. Some weeks this may be 4 nights of 1000 words. Other times it might be 2 nights of 2000, or any other combination.

That will get me to 50,000 around February.

After all, young Tinq needs to be given his chance to save the world.

If I could write 19000 words this month, I would be happy happy happy (and also finished finished finished this novel).
I always know that if I get past 7000 words (which is often where I stall) that my novel is going to be finished. So you should finish.

Hey, 19000 words is still awesome! Still congratulations-worthy!
