Wordcount 1

Thanks to National Novel Writing Month, I finally get the chance to push myself to write a novel, something I've always wanted but never had the chance to do. =)

So after a day of compiling and lengthening what I've penned down so far:

1. There's 2 and 1/2 chapters. Plus a prologue.

2. The wordcount stands at 5 717. Not bad considering I wrote about 2000 words today. But it looks like I can't make the deadline of 50K words by end-november. I think I'm going to be stuck in this rut for quite some time. Never realised that it takes ages to write/type pages and pages of sensible, readable stuff. Well for me, about an hour to write one a4 sized page... about 500 words, that... Ok, I'm gearing up for Wordcount 2!
