NaNo Blog 2: Overachiever

Well, this is a first.

I have finished my 50 k NaNoWriMo goal in 7 days. Usually I'm way behind or just towing the line and sticking around the average word count to keep afloat and to make it to the 50k mark by the end of the month. My chart stagnates and spikes, but I usually have a major comeback from behind at the end of the month.

So today I finished the 50k goal.

My wrists really hurt and I really wanna go to sleep but at the same time I'm really buzzed. My novel isn't done but I have reached the 50k. I'm really excited because I still have a lot to write about and a lot to say in the story and I am still loving it. I love my characters, I love my plot, I love the story.

But I'm rambling.

The point is that it is attainable. I feel kind of bad now for reaching the 50k mark so quickly (I am in a personal war with several other NaNo participants, so I have set my sights rather high.) when I am usually one of the ones behind in my word count. I really do hope that I can inspire, however. And be there to help and to cheer on others who are having trouble crossing that 50,000 word finish line.

So here's to me and my current achievement and here's an even bigger one to you, no matter where you are in your NaNoWriMo journey. You can do it and I am here for you in whatever supporting role I can provide.

Let's finish the month together and let's go out with a bang!

All my love,
Kai Kiriyama
