Running from lions never felt like such a mistake…

Day 06 of NaNo,  7426 words in. I need 9768 by the end of today. I’m proud of my effort though. Today alone I’ve written 4045 words. So far. Which is the most I’ve ever written in one day. I’m so glad I found out about NaNo. It’s stopped me procrastinating. I even disconnected from the internet so I could get more writing done. It’s fun! If only school work was like this.

My whole plotline has gone a bit winky-wonky. Jake and Chris have decided they want to be together, and now Chris has a younger sister who has survived and she wants to cause trouble in the group.

I wasn’t expecting this, but it makes for a better word count so I’m definitely not complaining.

I just need a better plot. So far it’s all mushy romantic stuff, and not enough of the actual zombie Apocalypse. Which was the whole point of this novel.

But oh well. As long as I make it close to the word count goal I’ll be extremely happy with myself. I can do this. I know I can. I just have to stop procrastinating.

“Don’t get it right – get it written!”
