Be the Change

NaNo Day Two

Well, so far I'm behind. Yesterday I wrote only 1513, and today so far I've written only 857 words. It's early, though, right?

I think research can be a good and bad thing during NaNo. You don't want to spend too much time researching background information, but at the same time, it can add to your word count, paraphrasing the research you've found.

Today I researched how to test whether blood belongs to a human or animal.

I had planned on trying to write one chapter per day. I like short chapters. Every novel I've read has lots of small-ish chapters, instead of 10-12 long ones. So, I was hoping to write one chapter per day and end up with about 30 of them. Well, it's been two days and I have 4 chapters written (and I'm behind in my word count). I think my chapters are a little too short.

I think it's going to be a long November...
