In the month of November I’ve been trying to write 50,000 words to a novel AND lose 20 pounds to my waistline. What was I thinking??! I was thinking I’d take a break from writing (and blogging about writing) and starving myself, to create a disturbing poster in which I replace Mel Gibson’s face with mine. Talk about a bad idea! What was I thinking??!
Here are my Stats for NaNoWriMo for November 23:
| Average Per Day | 1844 |
| Words Written Today | 1768 |
| Target Word Count | 50,000 |
| Target ~ Words/Day | 1,667 |
| Total Words Written | 42,434 |
| Words Remaining | 7,566 |
| Current Day | 23 |
| Days Remaining | 8 |
| At this rate, you’ll finish | November 28 |
| Words/Day to finish on time | 946 |
Writing a book is proving EASIER than losing weight. I’ve lost 13 pounds so far, and have a week to go. That’s 1000 words and 1 pound each day.
I have a feeling I’m going to cross the 50,000 word finish line before I cross the 20 pound finish line, especially with Thanksgiving approaching.
What was I thinking??!
