NaNovember - Day 4

Paul was being generous. I was ceaselessly toiling away ..... on classwork. I'm off to a terrible start this NaNo, ~600 words in the first four days, when I'd normally aim for 2k per day.

However, tomorrow is Saturday and I've got the whole day clear to write, and a bunch of bullet points of what's coming which usually helps me crank stuff out efficiently.

Since Saturday would be Day 5 of NaNo here's the math for my goal:

50,000 words ÷ 30 days = 1,667 words / day

Nov 5 = 5 days * 1,667 words = 8,335 words to be on-target

8,335 words target - 639 words written (gotta give myself credit for something!!) = 7,696 words to catch up.

7,696 words / 6,000 words (the most I've ever written in a day before) = 1.2826 = 128% of my all-time best effort required

So, tomorrow, I'm giving it 128% and I'm going to catch up!

Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Wonder how Paul is doing...
