The NaNoWriMo 2007 Report: Week 4
Thursday, November 29, 2007
Done. But not finished.
I reached the 50,000-word mark around 10:30 pm on Monday. Compared to last year's mad sprint to the finish line, it felt incredibly anti-climatic. Maybe because it wasn't even close to the 30th? I don't know. Yes, I still felt a faint glow of pride that I had hit the mark. 50,000 words in less than 30 days is an even more admirable feat, I suppose?
The writing process itself was better this week than during Weeks 2 and 3. I had several long bursts of creativity, even hitting a word count that exceeded 2,700 words on one day. (I just checked: that was Thanksgiving Day. I guess I had much to be thankful for that day! :) )
I have continued on and will record my final word count at some point Friday night. The story is not yet over and I'm not ready for it to end.

That it isn't ready to just finish I think is a good sign that there is a lot to the story and to me, a good one will almost drag you from bed for a few words more.
