Currently at a whopping 19361 word count. If I kept going at the rate I've been going for the past three days (like 2000+ words a day) I would be able to finish... if I was smart. But I forgot to take into account a rather large jump in this story between the first part and the second part. I'm close to the end of the first part, and I don't think I'll be able to just jump into the second one right away.
I will never write this for NaNoWriMo again! It worked last year because that was when I first started it. But now it's just like "WOW OKAY SO I'M GOING TO BE WRITING THIS FOR NANOWRIMO FOR FOUR YEARS." And I can't handle that. Not when I could be writing about dumb vampires or SUCCESSFUL SPIDER. Though, this story has been good at showing what types of things I'm good at writing and which types of things I should never touch again. Like fight scenes. Never again. Why did I think I could write it when I don't even read it? Fight scenes are boring in books unless they're wide-scale with little to no individual focus or if they're duels. One situation where the middle ground is the worst option.
I'll consider this year enough of a success if I actually manage to finish the first part of the story. But next year is Successful Spider. Bet on it.
