I don't really have an end point goal. I figure I'll end some where between 100k and 500k depending on where my book(s) decide to end themselves. With that goal in mind, I figure, as long as I write a minimum of 3k per day, I won't worry about the rest. (I had planned on doing no less than 5k per day, but recent changes in my health had me change it to 3k per day instead.)
However, writing 3k per day, though it's an easy thing to do, has been a bit difficult for me this year, due to a stroke in October, and than getting h1n1 flue a week later. I'm having lingering side effects that have had me in a state of walking around like a zombie - too tired to do anything, but feeling too icky to sleep. Sadly, this has resulted in my word count being much lower than usual.
Last year I had hit 50k on November 3rd. This year, today is the 10th and I'm just hitting 30k now. . . I know most folks would look at the 30k and tell me I'm way ahead, but I look at it and compare it with my previous NaNoWriMo word counts and think - damn, I'm so far behind!
All Hail Bela Lugosi!

I've signed up for this year's NaNoWriMo 2007 (my third year at NaNo!) and this is my blog for it, where I talk about my thoughts about writing, my ideas for NaNo, and the progress of my contest entry for this year's National Novel Writing Month contest.
