First update


5071 / 50000 words. 10% done!

Nano is going somewhat slowly for me this year. The word count picked up a little last night with the introduction of a new character into the works, so maybe things are changing for the better. I'm still behind though.

I nearly had heart failure yesterday morning when I opened my files and discovered I was missing about 400 words from the previous night. I use Rough Draft which saves fairly regularly, so I was curious what happened. Rather than worry about it, I tried to rewrite the bits from scratch. And then discovered the problem. I had backed up my novel on a thumb drive, but I also had a copy on the laptop. Guess who forgot which version she was working off of? So I fiddled around and edited a little (the four letter "e" word!) and now things are better. I've made sure I have the same version on both drives now, just for sanity's sake.

I'm keeping up with [livejournal.com profile] mini_nanowrimo fairly well. I'm working on one or two fic ideas, just to get some words written on them. Usually that's more than enough to do the 100 words a day I set for myself.
