Hey guys! This month I’m going to be doing some general updates on my NaNoWriMo progress. You’ll see how I’m progressing, get some insider looks at what I’ve written each week, and see some of the stuff that goes into creating a book!

NaNoWriMo: Week 1

Projects: Star Supernova (Blue Star Series, Star Trilogy #2), Prequel to The Curse of Broken Shadows

Word Count: 25,582 / 50,000 ( updated count on the NaNo website, feel free to add me as a friend)

Details: So, the word count is definitely way ahead of schedule (typical 5 day count, if writing on par to finish at the end of the month, is 8,335 words). However, I don’t foresee a spike this high again. I’m a bit of a NaNoWriMo rebel this year (working on two projects that were already started before the month). I had some of Star Supernova already written (25K words to be exact) so this week was spent polishing those chapters and preparing my outline for what comes after. I’m also adding words to the prequel of The Curse of Broken Shadows (official title to be announced soon) so there are a few bouts of new words being written. Those new words often fall short of the daily 1,667 required, but it does take energy and effort to rewrite and edit what I have written for SS…
