After much consideration, I ended NaNo early. I love my story and my characters.
But right now I really need to earn money. Unfortunately NaNo was not doing that for me.
I haven't given up completely. The novel will be written. It will just be a little longer than I originally planned.

Ten days down....
Ten days down....twenty days to go. NaNo is a third of the way over.
I'll be honest...writing today was a bit of a struggle. But I did reach my daily goal and topped 17,264 so I'm still on schedule. I'm learning to press on even when the words don't flow as smooth as I'd like.
The Excel spreadsheet idea is working great. I use a tab to track the word count and scenes written/to be written. I also use a tab to track the two families in the story and the names of promiment characters in the community. Today I started a new tab of subjects to research when NaNo is over.
Haven't heard from many of my writing buddies. Are you still out there?
