Our reporter Hugh Morris attempts to write a 50,000-word novel in the 30 days of November as part of National Novel Writing Month. Follow his progress here.
On day 22 of my challenge to try and write a novel in a month I had to accept defeat. It is now day 24 and I have to come to terms with my failure. But, I am taking only positives from managing to write 23,531 words in three weeks and will keep this novel (provisionally called We Were Made Out Of Lightning) alive, just not in the pressure cooker environment of NaNoWriMo.
IT TOOK about 11 minutes for me to fall behind the 1,667 words-a-day schedule.
