One of the things I love about NaNoWriMo is word counting. Yes it is scary when you fall behind but I find that counting the words whenever I stop for a pause or thinking or staring off into space is a great motivator. Love to see those words stack up!
Looking at it this way, you can see that even though I had a slow start (darn world series – this november baseball thing has to stop!) it’s more than possible to catch up, in fact it even adjusts the daily goal I’d need to hit to get to the goal of 50K by November 30. No excuses.
