The productivity level of my NaNoWriMo-ing has continued…just. I have decided that November is a crazy time for me to try this as November in our family is usually VERY busy! This one has been busier than normal with two weddings (in which my hubby is a groomsmen), lots of evening gatherings (late nights) and just about every weekend taken up with something and it’s not even December yet!

However, I plough on with trying for 500 words per day (at least 5 days a week) – these nutty, busy weekends are killing me! I’m happy with how I am progressing and am excited by what I’m seeing take place in my story – all the stuff I’d planned is either being altered or chucked out as I hammer out the story!
