NaNo Day 14

Today's NaNo progress:



Bringing my total NaNo progress to:



I wrote a chapter out of order today, totally not intending to when I sat down to write.  But I think it's one of the better chapters, so I'm not going to complain too much.  Tomorrow, it'll be back to the proper order of things.  :) 

I am running into difficulties classifying my NaNo genre, however.  It's a fantasy, but also kind of a gothic horror, and also a romance, which could border on erotica, but only because the sex is edgier than the average romance novel, not because the whole book is sex.  (I estimate I'll be at about 60k before the two main protags actually do the deed.)

So, I have no idea where I'll be querying this when it's done.  I may petition for beta readers to help me narrow the genre.

Congrats! I'm trying to hit 20,000 this week, and I am trying my hardest to reach 50,000 by the end of this month, but it's a good thing I'm doing NaNo unofficially in case I don't reach it.

Keep up the great work!

I've been reading your NaNo as a reward for writing my own. :D I know you can do it!

The good news is, you can still 'officially' sign up for NaNo all the way until midnight on the 30th. (As their FAQ says, hope springs eternal.) So if you make the 50k, you can join. :)

I haven't said anything so far, but you are so incredibly productive, it scares me.
Wow. And bravo.

Thanks. :) Actually, it kind of scares me, too. Because I keep expecting it to stop, you know? Hit a wall, get stuck, start to doubt myself.

I figure this thing has to be something pretty good, for it to still be going this well. I hope, anyway. :)
