NaNoWriMo - Day 17

I hope you're all having a great weekend. Today, being Sunday, I spent the morning in church and then celebrated a 'stressless' Thanksgiving potluck afterward. This time there was food I could eat, and I'm stuffed. With the diet I'm on, it's hard to find something nutritious among all the offerings. Today was the exception. It was all good. Yesterday, I had a fantastic day writing. As I found out as I got into it, I'm not finished yet with New Horizons, but I'm a chapter or two away from the end. I've also been thinking about the title and the fact I'm going to need to change it - add to it since it's the first in the New Horizons series. I just need to figure out the rest of the title. I'm thinking New Horizons - Unknown Galaxy or New Home. I don't know. I'll let you know when I figure it out. So, yesterday's numbers are: Total word count - 143,251. Daily word count - 2590. 17-day word count - 37,895. I also got a chapter of Thread of Evidence edited, so that is also going well. I started the notifications for November 12 this morning before church. I'll get that done now, and then move onto more writing. Either that or I will take a nap first, something that always seems to happen after a good meal. I don't expect to get caught up with notifications before the first of December. I'm seeing new avatars on my notifications. I will get to your comments and read your posts. It will take a while. You are not forgotten. How is your Sunday going? Thanks for reading.

It's nice to hear that things are going well for you. I'm almost afraid to drop by and disturb your writing.

@just4him Thanks for saying that. I may just surprise you one of these days! Leaving Doodles is going to kill me.

@DianneN I look forward to the day you buzz my door. It must have been a hard decision to make to leave Doodles behind.

You can't possibly disturb my writing, and if you ever want to buzz my door, you won't disturb it then either. It's good to know you finally have your flight booked.

@just4him well done you. I hate to think how many words you've managed to produce since I've known you.

@valmnz A lot. And I have a lot more to write, just like you do. You're doing very well with having four books published now also.

I make it here for a little bit every day. I'm a declared winner for NaNoWriMo today. Of course, I'm going to still write to the end of the month.

You are doing good with your writing and that should come first.

That's great you posted three articles and had the opportunity to watch TV church. Is it Joel Osteen? I think you said once that's who you watch. He's a terrific minister. I'm glad they had food I could eat too.

I'm sorry you weren't feeling good when you woke and feeling better now that you've had your coffee. I hope the rest of your day went well.

Ah, No. I've had 400+ notifications per day. I've been clearing one day at a time. Today is the first day I'll have cleared three days of notifications and be under 300 when I close down tonight.

I've read the nap came before any writing but I'm sure you've made up for it since.

Yes, the nap came before the writing, but I still made good headway with it.

It's good to do the familiar. It felt strange not having a game to watch with the Pack playing on Thursday.

Yes, I am, and today I crossed the finish line. Though I'll be writing to the end of the month.
