I just had a NaNo scare! I wrote a long scene this morning, 3 pages in a word document. Then I added it to my main novel item, and I checked my word count. Just over 25k. Huh? If I had 25k the last time I wrote, and I added 3 pages of words, how could the wc be that low? I took out what I just added and my wc was only 24k! I had lost one thousand words!

See, I have my NaNo item saved on a flash drive and also on my hard drive. After writing on Saturday, I saved only one of those instead of both.

So it was a short scare. I thought I was going to have to reach 25k a second time! I found the "missing" 1k, though, and I'm back to normal. As normal as can be, anyway...

I've had a strong morning of writing so far. 1,500 words with one tarot card reading! (One of my NaNo tricks is having a character visit a tarot reader. I use a free tarot reading site - lik www.facade.com - and I focus on the character to get their reading. I've found that it's surprisingly accurate and sometimes gives me a good insight into the character and their destiny.)

Anyway, I still have one more reading to do. I'm hoping to get at least 3k done this morning, and just maybe get a 5k day in! That would very lovely.

Word Count at the moment: 26,442
