I have options. I can accept the word count on WriteItNow that says of my CampNaNo/NaNoWriMo combination novel that says that I reached by writing the two words ‘The End’ 75,000. Or I can accept that my adding and subtracting with all the computer glitches, including finding yWriter an empty project as of this morning. Grr! My husband and I found my saved RTFs, and I copied and pasted the missing parts to WriteItNow, then added a few scenes today, making an additional 2,000 to NaNos word count app, bringing that total to 46,235. That one should be the goal for the 28th of 46,676. So, in that case, I am 441 words short. In that case, I need about 2,000 a day until the 30th. I think I will opt to try and find a better place to put that ending. There are lots of loose threads to tie-up. So I will just keep writing until I am satisfied. Then comes editing. Ugh! I doubt I can write 2K a day for the next two days, but I will try for the record.

Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “opt.” Use it as a word or find a word with “opt” in it and base your post on that. Have fun!
I thought the target was 50.000 words…
It is. But I did only 25k for Camp NaNo. My goal was to add 50k to that. So, if one program says I hit 75k. I think I have it. At least in WriteItNow. I think the numbers got messed up with the times yWriter7 dropped chapters and finally wiped out everything. Still I’m not done so I’ll finish when the story is done.
No matter how or where you finish, I think you are amazing! Your determination puts mine to shame…
Thank you! I feel the story has given that crazy push to get itself done. I’ve had stories that were WORK and the struggle is real! But this one just kept flowing, even when things went so wrong. I feel so lucky! And grateful!
I love it when that happens!
Me, too!
You are doing so great, hang in there!
Thanks!
