NaNo news 6

as you can see on my NaNo word count widget (see the sidebar), i happened to have managed at least one day to write slightly over the recommended average (indicated by green).
i wrote well into chapter 3, the chapter i didn't feel like writing two days ago - see the post below.
but somehow i managed to see what is going on at that part of the story.
standing at about 4,000 words alone, i declare chapter 3 ready.
well, for the time being, that is.
-
so, whenever i have time during the day, i'm off to chapter 4, which is supposed to be about the school years of my Margaret.
this is when she finds out and realises that she is a bit different from the others, this is where some other characters emerge and act beside her immediate family.
(in chapters 2 and 3 it was only her mother, father, mothernal grandparents, her aunt and a nurse at the hospital).
now in chapter 4, i have to create her teachers, schoolmates, first love? - oops, i had no idea about that ;)
-
so far, so good.
i'm enjoying the process.

thank you, Charles

you said you were impressed, but I am certainly surprised!
:)
i'm about to reach 10,000 quite soon :))

although i have to note that the time : word count ratio is not doing me favours, but... well, i'll just see.
