Week Three<\/strong> – Dated 11\/19\/08<\/p>\n

I learned that it is near impossible to write while at work.\u00c2\u00a0 Granted, it’s something I knew already but it was confirmed yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 We have some slow periods but the pace always seems to pick up in November.\u00c2\u00a0 For the most part I have tried to write each day even if I do not meet my daily word count goal.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Week Four<\/strong> – Dated 11\/30\/08<\/p>\n

Today was really my most painful day.\u00c2\u00a0 I think all month long I’ve taken a total of 3 days off from writing but I have not met my daily word count goal every day.\u00c2\u00a0 And it bit me in the behind.\u00c2\u00a0 At the beginning of today my total word count was 41,745.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the ways to prep for NaNoWriMo is to have a back-up of your novel.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it needs to be amended to have a recent back-up of your novel available.\u00c2\u00a0 I kept saving my novel to my USB drive throughout the day when I received an error message from Word that it could no\u00c2\u00a0longer find the file.\u00c2\u00a0 With only 4,000 words left to write I tried to keep it together while I was panicking.\u00c2\u00a0 My back-up was from 10 days prior and my word count was almost 30K.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ten years of Help Desk work paid off!\u00c2\u00a0 I was able to find a temporary file from fifteen minutes earlier that was only missing a few hundred words.\u00c2\u00a0 To be honest, I felt a little bit on tilt but I kept on writing.\u00c2\u00a0 With an hour and five minutes left before midnight I crossed the finish line with over 50,000 words and all my plot lines tied up.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
