Word Wars!

So I did my first word war today. How, you might wonder, could I possibly do that when it's not even November 1st yet! Well, I wanted to see how many words I could write in 30 minutes, so I wrote up a prologue for my NaNo novel. I wanted something on Medwina.

I managed to type up a very well-written (I think) 1,002 word prologue for her. Yay! Even I'M intrigued by her!! And I think that in typing up the prologue I've come up with my ending, too. I'm not 100% positive about that, but it's certainly possible.

Anyway, if I can keep up that pace, that means that for only an hour a day, I should be able to easily do 50k words this coming month. The hard part is that I wrote a beginning, middle and end in 1000 words. What if I do that every day? Does that mean that there won't be any ongoing story to follow? I don't know. Or am I overthinking things again? Nah.. couldn't be! Not me!

This is really going to be fun, though I think my kids are going to kill me before it's all over. To do just that 30-minute stunt I yelled at them to just be quiet so I could get something done. It worked - they shut up - but will it every night for a month? Maybe once they start writing, too. I guess we'll find out then, won't we?
