I should probably be asleep. But I've just got myself a hot mug of milo and my cat is making biscuits on the blanket on my lap. I predict I will not be able to move for a while as it is of course illegal to disturb a settled cat...

Day seven of NaNoWriMo or NovNov. Here's my progress:
This month: 6,593 words
Draft: 14,593
Outline and story notes: 4,101
A little behind, but still going! (btw if anyone is wondering how my main draft lost words, it's because I reorganised some of the words into the notes document).

I'm finding it increasingly challenging to add words to my novel; I've written the beginning chapter, the ending, and some scenes in the middle. Yet that brings me to only 15.8k. Definitely not done, but stuck on what to add. Guess it's time for a read through, a ponder, and a cup of tea... #novnov

I’m so cosy right now. I’m wrapped up on the sofa in the thickest jumper (an oodie covered with sloths) and a big, fluffy blanket over my jeans. Perfect attire to churn out some words! #novnov
