NaNoWriMo 2013

Hi friends!

Remember last year I almost didn’t DO NaNoWriMo because I was burned out and blabity blah blah?

This year, I found a new way to approach NaNoWriMo for a little more of a thrill and thus a little more of a challenge. I’m not talking about shooting for 100K instead of 50K. I’m talking about striking out on a balls to the wall crazy first two weeks of keyboard pounding that dwindles down to 1 word on November 30th.

I usually finish my 50K before Thanksgiving.

Here’s the breakdown, which I got from the blog linked above and I’ll link here again.

Word Quotas using the “Reward System” also known as “Backwards NaNoWriMo” which doesn’t really make sense.

• Day 1: 3346 (It’s day one! Just do it! And you can and will!)
• Day 2: 3216
• Day 3: 3101
• Day 4: 2986
• Day 5: 2872
• Day 6: 2757
• Day 7: 2642
• Day 8: 2527 (This is the hard part. Week one is out of the way, but you’ve still got some painful quotas left. Just do it!)
• Day 9: 2412
• Day 10: 2298
• Day 11: 2183
• Day 12: 2068
• Day 13: 1953 (Almost there…)
• Day 14: 1838 (Almost there……)
• Day 15: 1724 (Halfway point! After this, you’ll be writing less every day than everyone else! This is the time where you need this!)

• Day 17: 1494
• Day 18: 1379
• Day 19: 1264

• Day 22: 920
• Day 23: 805
• Day 24: 690
• Day 25: 576 (That’s a single good Word War! Feel free to laugh at the people with over three times this quota today!)

• Day 29: 116
