NaNoWriMo 2019: Day 17

After falling under the 1,667-word pace yesterday, I not only bested today's pace, but made up for it today. Since we're dealing with numbers, 3,334 is what you get with a normal two-day pace at 1,667. My last two days add up to 3,632, a difference of 298 more words than pace. Got to love that.

Which also speaks to the idea that you don't have to worry if you don't make par on any given day. You can make it up. Just keep writing.

I ended up finishing the character moment chapter for the Hero this morning, slightly revising where I had ended up yesterday. I was an intimate conversation with him and a lady. Emotions got involved, and just when there was a genuine moment, things got in the way. I threw a wrench into the moment and sent him scurrying to play catch up.

It'll make tomorrow's writing that much more fun as he tries to figure out a way to get himself out of the tightening vice in which he finds himself.
