I need to average 1667 words a day. I

words of the novel written and I was 833 words into chapter fifty-three.

Day one: A good solid start. Did bits of research as I
went using the web. I finished chapter fifty-three and got halfway through
chapter fifty-four. I updated the outline of coming chapters up to chapter
sixty. Wrote 1726 words.

Day two: I love days were I have to constantly stop
what I am doing to scribble down notes for my writing. I had to pull the
notebook out on my way back from the pool, and while eating breakfast and then lunch.
My mind was on the job and I wrote 1809 words.

Day three: Started late so I
struggled to get the words done. And then I had a bit of a plot quandary which
had been stopping to think for a while. I ended up writing 1671 words.

Day four: I finished chapter
fifty-six and was about halfway through chapter fifty-seven when I stopped on
my 1667th word. Again I
was doing lots of bits of research on the web as I went.

So
I have written 6933 words in the
first four days. It feels more of a struggle this year than last year, but at
the same time last year I had written 6817
words. My novel has grown to 112,648 words.

Very good Graham.
Week Two is the hardest I find.
That won't be a novel, it will be a new front fence!
