NaNoWriMo - oh my gosh

[scottishlass]

About a week ago I decided to throw the whole thing. I was up to barely 3.000 words and I just knew I couldn't write more with all the work and obligations going on.
I really was content (even though a slight little voice was nagging me) and persuaded myself it didn't matter.
Olly was a bit miffed that I would throw the towel so he nagged and nagged and nagged until I caved in on Friday night and I started writing again. I haven't stopped writing for 2 1/3 days and here I am ... we were snowed in ... I got cosy warm ... Olly relied on Pizza and burgers while I typed away.

I'm exhausted and still not finished ... but with the last word count I was over the 50.000 word mark - in fact the word count is now 62.958. But I'm still not finished and no editing whatsoever. I even stopped looking at the squiggly lines and yes, the story is full of them. I guess once I finish I need to do some heavy editing. There are some scenes that have to go - too fluffy or too lengthy. I think I even repeated myself when I tried to write the reflection of emotion in both characters.
Oh well, during Christmas and New Year I will do that ... I'm bushed.
