I finally got through 3077 words tonight. Seemed like it took forever. I'm distracted these days. But look, I got past 40,000 tonight! I'm four-fifths of the way to the end of the nano-goal. But when I get there... I'll keep writing. I want to do 120,000 words on the first draft of this... my first mega-manuscript. I expect to milk it for all its got.I also finished the new material / master level writing dare - as I finished the eighth chapter in the novel. I was excited to have done this because my chapters are 4800 words minimum. The dare calls for chapters of a minimum of 1000 words... so mine were more than required by a long shot.
I've got my manuscript divided into chapters (hopefully, at least 25 of them)... each chapter consisting of four sections that are more or less around 1200 words each. Each section has a different POV character... and they repeat, but not in any specific pattern. Three characters are well-meaning problem makers (the villains)... the others are family members. Its fun - as I've never done anything like it before. I like stretching my capacity and trying new things.
