Post-NaNoWriMo Update - February 15, 2017

Total Words Written: 137.851

All right, I'll have to admit it now - no matter how well pantsing that whole thing has worked out overall these past months, writing with a plan is a joy!
I might never be the person to completely plan out a story before starting to write, but holy hell, having a good grip on what I want to get written next makes the whole process go so much more smoothly.

I passed my daily word goal today without even noticing it after roughly an hour - these past weeks the same amount took me nearly twice as long on average, and because I knew where I wanted to go, what I wanted to include, I got 2000+ words written in the same time I usually need to reach my goal.

Feels good, let me tell you :)

Let's see if tomorrow will go just as smoothly (despite the best of plans I have just written something that I didn't anticipate. Nothing big, plot altering, mind you, but still a surprising revelation during a conversation I'll need to work into the bigger picture -or delete again).

In other news - I managed to work my way through quite a bit of your comments and posts as well this evening. Depending on what my day looks like tomorrow I might just find enough time to finally completely catch up (and get to treat myself with finally reading the fics/chapters still waiting to be read!) ;)

I started writing chapter 2 and I swear Viggo hasn't read the plan and has totally altered his background which is inconvenient. But we should be used to this by now!

I feel you, sweetie!!!!

And yes, we probably should be used to it by now, but still... can't they for once read the plan? We should have them sign agreements to stick to our ideas, at least for let's say 80% of the time, or something ;)
