NaNoWriMo 2014: Day Six

Hello everybody,

I hope that all of you are doing well. Today is the day that we are all supposed to break the 10K barrier! Have any of you managed to do it yet? Its hard to believe that we are one fifth of the way through this crazy adventure!

As I have mentioned in the past, I am trying to stay at least one day ahead with my word count goal. Since the word count goal for today was 10K, I was trying to get past 11,666 words! And I managed to do it! I wrote chapter seven of Scarlett, which can be viewed here. It was my longest chapter so far in this story, coming in at 2,078 words, which brought my grand total up to 12,240 words!

I'm getting close to the number of words where I lost all of my data last year, so I'm starting to get paranoid. I've got my novel backed up on three different hard drives this year.

I hope you are all remembering to back up your novels! Losing your words just over a week in is something that I definitely do not recommend. It was super stressful to get myself caught up again! I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

How have you guys been doing? Have any of you broken the 10k barrier yet? Maybe some of you have even managed to break 20K already? I know that someone on my writing buddies list has on the official NaNoWriMo website! Let me know how your doing, and as always, leave links to your Tablo accounts down below so that I can check them out and follow them!

Lots of NaNo love,
Helen.
